The KKR vs SRH match got underway on April 02 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Match no. 6 of the IPL 2026 will see a face-off between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad (KKR vs SRH). This contest will begin at 7:30 PM IST on Thursday at the iconic venue, Eden Gardens, in Kolkata.
Both teams are coming off a defeat in their opening games and are in search of their first points. Ajinkya Rahane will lead the three-time champions, while Ishan Kishan is leading SRH in the absence of Pat Cummins.
SRH are missing captain Pat Cummins, who is currently recovering from injury, and there is no further injury case in the current squad. Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and captain Ishan will be crucial players for the 2016 champions.
Their bowling unit needs contributions from Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat, as they have a wealth of experience. On the other hand, KKR will hope that Finn Allen gets unleashed in this game. He scored a 33-ball ton when he batted last time in Kolkata.
Apart from him, Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Cameron Green, and Rinku Singh will have a huge role with the bat. In their bowling unit, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy will have a massive role.
