Mitchell Marsh kept scoring runs and scored his fifty; meanwhile, Nicholas Pooran was getting started. Both batters didn’t let the run rate drop. Marsh got out after scoring 81 runs, but Pooran scored 86 runs for his team as LSG ended its innings with 238 runs on the board.
Chasing the target of 329 runs, KKR got the explosive start as Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine put 31 runs on the board in 2 overs. Akashdeep got the first breakthrough for his team and got the wicket of Quinton de Kock. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine kept dealing in boundaries and scored 93 runs in 6 overs. Digvesh Rathi picked up Sunil Narine’s wicket to break the partnership. Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane didn’t let the run rate dip, but Shardul Thakur returned to the attack and dismissed KKR’s skipper in the 13th over. From there, KKR lost back-to-back wickets, and good death overs by LSG helped them get 3rd win in the league.

IPL 2025, Match 21st, KKR vs LSG: Captains’ Corner
“I think when we batted we didn’t realise but after the powerplay we knew it would be really close. After the first powerplay, we spoke with the bowlers about sticking to the plan and not trying to do too much. [On slowing the game down] Definitely it was a conscious decision because when the game is running at that pace, you have to slow it down. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I am happy it worked today. [On Samad at No. 4] I think [left-right combination] was the idea, given the spinners they had.”
Rishabh Pant(LSG Captain) said post-match
“A really tight one. As I said at the toss, the wicket would remain very good. No complaints, in the end we fought hard but just four runs short. See when you’re chasing 230-plus you are bound to lose wickets, that’s completely normal. The intent and how everyone played was amazing. If batters took a little bit of time, it was a great wicket to bat on. Varun and Sunil normally dominate the middle overs, but today Sunil was travelling. It was tough for the bowlers.”
Ajinkya Rahane(KKR Captain) said post-match
