Ahead of what is going to be a thrilling encounter on Thursday, here are the top three Dream11 captain and vice-captain choices for KKR vs SRH match 15 of IPL 2025.

Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy has been a consistent performer for Kolkata Knight Riders in the recent past. The prolific spinner will start as one of the best captaincy choices ahead of this game.

Chakravarthy, who has taken 11 wickets against SRH till date, has a good record against their lead batters in the recent past. Moreover, he loves bowling at the Eden Gardens as he has taken the most number of wickets at KKR’s home venue since 2023 (21 wickets). 2. Andre Russell

 Andre Russell

Andre Russell has started bowling again and that's a huge positive for the KKR camp. The explosive pace bowling all-rounder has been one of the biggest match winners for the Kolkata franchise over the years.

His numbers speaks for himself and there is no one in his competition when it comes to playing at the Eden Gardens. Moreover, his batting and bowling performances have been top notch against Sunrisers Hyderabad over the years with 305 runs at a strike-rate of 172.31 and 23 wickets with the ball at a strike-rate of 10.4.

 Heinrich Klaasen

Heinrich Klaasen will be one of the top captain and vice-captain choices for this match. The South African will be playing a crucial role to tackle what has been a fiery spin attack of KKR in the recent past.

Klaasen has been SRH’s highest run scorer since he joined this franchise back in 2023 and it's no different when it comes to facing KKR against whom he has scored 163 runs at an average of above 40 in the last two years. Moreover, he loves batting at the Eden Gardens where he scored a 29-ball 63 in his last outing at the venue.
