KKR vs SRH: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 6 of IPL 2026

The KKR vs SRH match of the IPL 2026 will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The stakes will be high as two heavyweights are set to collide in the 6th match of the IPL 2026. Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad (KKR vs SRH) will face each other in match 6, which is all set to begin at 7:30 PM IST on Thursday at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Both sides have had a poor start in the ongoing tournament, as they lost their opening matches. KKR suffered a hammering at the hands of the Mumbai Indians while defending 220, whereas SRH lost to RCB and failed to defend 201 runs.

Both teams have strong batting groups, and we might see a high-scoring contest. There are several good players on both sides, whom you can pick for your Dream11 fantasy team. But having the right pick as captain can be fruitful.

Hence, we have suggested five players who could be a great choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Dream11 fantasy picks for the KKR vs SRH clash-

1. Ajinkya Rahane

KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane was superb in the opening game against MI. He even overshadowed Finn Allen to some extent and scored a blistering fifty. He likes batting at Eden Gardens and has scored 514 runs in 17 innings.

Being a captain, he is expected to perform well, and his team needs him to fire. Rahane plays at the top, which allows him to face the maximum number of balls. Adding to that, he is also in good form and can be a good option as captain.

2. Finn Allen

The last time Finn Allen batted at Eden Gardens in a T20 match, he slammed a 33-ball century. It came against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal. So, there is no doubt that he can’t do it again.

He had a great start against MI, and he himself will be looking to play a big knock to take his team to victory. Allen’s ability to win games with the bat makes him an ideal choice on fantasy platforms.

3. Ishan Kishan

SRH stand-in captain Ishan Kishan has the most runs as an Indian in T20s in 2026. He has been in red-hot form and produced a blistering 80 off 38 balls against RCB. The left-hander has been striking well, and he will like the shorter boundaries and flat wicket at Eden Gardens.

With the form on his side, if he gets set, he will be hard to stop. Adding to that, he can also earn points with gloves, making him an ideal option.

4. Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine is a key player for KKR, and his performance is crucial for KKR’s success. Narine has been fantastic over the years and has given many memorable innings with both bat and ball. Though in the last couple of seasons, he has looked below par.

But you never know with a player of his stature. At Eden Gardens, he has 72 wickets and 698 runs in the IPL. Not many will make him captain, but his dual role can come in handy to earn good points on fantasy platforms.

5. Abhishek Sharma

The last month or so has been tough for Abhishek Sharma, but you can’t keep him out of the game. He has the skillset to change the situation within the first six overs, as he did in the final against New Zealand.

That is what he required, which is one reason that he can be your captain for your Dream11 side. He himself will be keen to produce something good, and if it is his day today, the KKR bowling unit will have a big task in front of them.
