Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are one of the 10 teams competing in the Indian Premier League (IPL). They made their IPL debut in 2022 and qualified for the IPL playoffs in their first two seasons. However, LSG endured a forgettable campaign in 2024 as they finished in seventh spot in the IPL points table. The franchise bought Rishabh Pant for INR 27 crores in the IPL 2025 auction and subsequently appointed him the captain of the team.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are one of the IPL teams that have been competing in the league since 2008. The three-time IPL champions appointed Ajinkya Rahane as their captain ahead of the IPL 2025. KKR and LSG have faced off against each other in the IPL 2025 league stage match. They played on April 08 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. LSG went on to win the high-scoring encounter by four runs after scoring 238 in the first inning. Nicholas Pooran becomes the Man of the Match for his 87 runs off 36 balls, as per IPL's official website.
