KKR Match Tickets: When & how to buy for IPL 2026 first phase

KKR will play their first game of IPL 2026 on March 29 against Mumbai Indians.

After a disappointing campaign last year, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) look like a different team this Indian Premier League (IPL). They released some of their mainstays including Andre Russell, who then retired, and Venkatesh Iyer, entering the mini-auction with a massive purse.

They used their purse to splurge their money on Cameron Green, who became the most expensive overseas player in IPL history. They also spent 18 Cr on Matheesha Pathirana, who was shockingly released by Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Despite these marquee buys, the three-time champions have been jolted ahead of the season.

Harshit Rana, reportedly, has been ruled out of the tournament, creating a huge void in their bowling attack. Moreover, Pathirana is still recovering from injury. Hence, Ajinkya Rahane and his men will have to step up with the bat where they have some immense firepower.

The addition of the dynamic Kiwi duo of Finn Allen and Tim Seifert, along with Green, Rinku Singh, Rovman Powell and Ramandeep Singh in the middle-order, sets the stage for some massive scores at the Eden Gardens this year. KKR also boasts the best spinners in the competition in Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.
