They are placed sixth on the points table with five victories and five defeats. A victory in this match will keep their playoff hopes alive. Will KKR vs CSK Be Postponed Due to Operation Sindoor? Fearless in unity. Boundless in strength. India’s shield is her people. There’s no room for terrorism in this world. We’re ONE TEAM!Jai Hind 🇮🇳#OperationSindoor — Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) May 7, 2025 India has launched a fierce military operation against nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK after a deadly attack in Pahalgam which resulted in the death of 26. This raised questions on whether the KKR vs CSK match would be delayed or not. Till now, BCCI has not provided any update, so it is expected that the match will take place as scheduled. However, there are chances of the match starting a bit late than the usual.

These drills would commence at 4:00 PM IST. There is also a scheduled blackout drill at 7:30 PM IST, which would delay the match's commencement slightly. The match will be played in Kolkata, which is among the areas of West Bengal where the drills will be carried out and hence, a slight delay in the start of the match can be expected in today's match between KKR and CSK. How Can KKR Qualify for the Playoffs? In order to have a hope of qualifying for the playoffs, KKR need to win all their remaining games. If they do, they will get 17 points. Even so, a playoff berth is far from certain, but if other results go in their favor in the matches, they may well be in. But if they lose a single more game, their hopes will be all but gone as losing a game will see them finishing at 15 points max and qualification below 16 points is highly uncertain in this year's tournament.
