The reigning champions needed to win the game at any cost to stay alive in the competition. However, the rain god was not on KKR's side as their season came to a disappointing end. Even though KKR still have a game to play in IPL 2025, they would not be able to make it to the playoffs.
Nothing much has gone right for the three-time champions this year. Right from the start of the tournament, they have struggled for consistency. One of their most disappointing performers from IPL 2025 is definitely their star batsman Venkatesh Iyer.
The southpaw has looked like a pale shadow of his usual self. Expectations were sky high from Venkatesh Iyer after KKR went all out for him in the mega auction. The Kolkata-based outfit secured Venkatesh Iyer's services for a whopping amount of INR 23.75 crore. He was KKR's costliest buy in the mega auction but has failed to justify his price tag.
