In the IPL 2026 match against Mumbai Indians (MI), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) emerged victorious by four wickets at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

After suffering a defeat, MI's captain Hardik Pandya said, "Quite entertaining. I think we lost wickets in the powerplay. We should have stitched a couple of more partnerships. I don't mind playing on such wickets. I think IPL is getting batting dominated. This was a good wicket for bowlers, I kind of enjoyed it. We have dropped a lot of catches. No one wants to do it, but there's no hiding away. You have to grab those chances, you have to grab even half chances, or else you are always chasing the game".
