Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the second game of both these teams at the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). The two teams come into the match on the back of defeats in their season opener but one of them will be able to register their first win of the season.
KKR were outplayed by Mumbai Indians (MI) in their first game of the season. Half-centuries from captain Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi took KKR to 220-4 in 20 overs. The bowlers then could not make much of an impact and MI chased down the score with five balls in hand.
SRH had an even tougher opening game against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Stand-in captain Ishan Kishan’s 80 pushed SRH to 201-9 but the score was easily chased down by RCB in just 15.4 overs.
Both the teams had weak bowling line-ups which really struggled in the last game. Which of these teams will bounce back? Check out the major details of the KKR vs SRH, IPL 2026 match below.
