Defending champions (Top 3 Wicket-Takers) On Tuesday, April 8, the KKR vs LSG in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. This competition will take place at Kolkata’s famous Eden Gardens.
In their four IPL 2025 games thus far, KKR has won two and lost the other two. They lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their opening match, but they recovered to defeat the Rajasthan Royals.
They enter this match fresh off a victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), but they also fell to Mumbai Indians (MI) in their previous game.
LSG has run a similar campaign in the interim. They lost their first game, won the following one, lost again, and then won the last one. Both sides will aim to build on their most recent victories and accelerate moving forward.
Having said that, let’s examine three players that have the potential to take the most wickets in today’s IPL 2025 match between KKR and LSG.
Three players who could take the most wickets in today’s match between KKR and LSG
1 Shardul Thakur
Before this match, LSG’s all-rounder Shardul Thakur had taken the most wickets in the IPL 2025. In four games, the right-arm medium pacer has taken seven wickets at an average of 18.85 and an 11.1% strike rate.
His best four-over performance of 4/34 came against Hyderabad, where he also claimed the significant wickets of Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma. The ‘Golden Arm’ is a characteristic of Shardul, who is demonstrating his skill with the ball.
He picked up 35 wickets during a fantastic Ranji Trophy season, and he has carried that form into the IPL. It will be crucial for LSG if Shardul provides them with significant breakthroughs against KKR.
2 Varun Chakaravarthy
So far this season, KKR spinner Varun Chakaravarthy is their joint top wicket-taker. In four games, he has taken six wickets at an economy rate of 6.26 and an average of 15.66.
Varun Chakavarthy had a remarkable comeback with an outstanding effort against Sunrisers Hyderabad at home after bowling well but failing to take any wickets. After four overs, he returned with figures of 3/22.
When KKR hosts LSG, he will feel more confident after their recent home performance. He is expected to continue his strong ball-handling form and will probably take some wickets for the reigning champions in this match.
3 Digvesh Rathi
Digvesh Rathi, a leg-spinner for LSG, has taken wickets this season. In four games, he has taken six wickets at an economy rate of 7.62 and an average of 20.33.
He won Player of the Match for his 1/21 from four overs against the Mumbai Indians after starting his debut game against the Delhi Capitals with statistics of 2/31.
Given that this is a day game with little to no chance of dew, spinners should do well at the Eden Gardens, and Digvesh, in his recent form, will be eager to take advantage of the favourable conditions.
Because there is no dew, captains will be more likely to give their spinners longer stints. The Eden Gardens surface has historically provided turn, particularly in afternoon matches. Digvesh has the potential to be a valuable asset in the middle overs because of his deft variations and capacity to bowl under duress. He is a challenging bowler to score off because of his command of flight and pace changes, especially on a slower surface. He might become one of the game’s leading wicket-takers if he establishes a rhythm early on.
