KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 28, IPL 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 28 of the IPL 2026 between KKR vs RR to be played in Kolkata.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are very close to getting eliminated from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. They now have six winless games to their name and are at the bottom of the table. KKR are next scheduled to face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a home game.

This contest will be held at Eden Gardens on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 PM IST. Mathematically, KKR still have a chance, but a defeat on Sunday can dent their campaign.

Cameron Green found some form in the last game against GT. But as a unit, KKR had a disappointing match. They need a quick turnaround, because they are facing one of the best teams of this competition. RR had a poor last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), but before that, they had four tremendous wins.

KKR vs RR: Pitch Report

The wicket in Kolkata is good for batting. This is a flat deck, and teams have scored 200 or more consistently here in the IPL. The square boundaries are 65-67 meters, which is not big in the modern-day cricket.

However, this is an afternoon match, and spinners will get some turn on the dry surface in Kolkata. Hence, bowling first can come good in this game.
