The 68th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi tonight. SRH skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first against KKR on the night.  With both sides already out of the playoff race, they will be eager to end their campaign with a morale-boosting victory.

 

KKR managed to secure only five wins from their 13 fixtures, while two of their matches were abandoned due to rain, which significantly hampered their chances of qualifying. SRH, on the other hand, also registered five wins but find themselves languishing in eighth place on the points table. It has been a challenging season for both franchises, and they will be looking to reset and return stronger in the 2026 edition.  Check GT vs CSK LIVE SCORE UPDATES and full scorecard here
