DC vs KKR LIVE: KKR’s middle order off form

Kolkata Knight Riders’ expensive middle-order has failed to fire on a consistent basis in IPL 2025. Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh and Andre Russell cost the franchise a combined Rs 48.75 crore, but have not won many matches for KKR this season and failed to live up to their on-paper might.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Can Andre Russell fire?
