KKR released crores of rupees player
In this match, the Kolkata Knight Riders' team has fielded with two changes. Enrich Norcia and opener Quinton de Kock has been dropped from the playing XI. Quinton de Kock was a part of the team's playing 11 in all 7 matches earlier. But his performance was nothing special. Quinton de Kock won the team by scoring an unbeaten 97 in the match. Apart from this, he flopped in all matches. Quinton could score only 143 runs in these 7 matches at a bad average of 23.83. His strike rate was also 137.50.
Kolkata Knight Riders made a big bid for Quinton de Kock of South Africa in the IPL 2025 mega auction and made them part of their team for Rs 3.6 crore. But Quinton de Cock could not live up to this trust. On the other hand, the pitch of KKR's home ground Eden Gardens is more favorable for spinners. In such a situation, KKR has given Moin Ali a chance by sitting outside Enrique Northern. Moin Ali is known for changing the attitude of the match with his spin bowling and batting.
11 players from both teams are playing.
