The Indian Premier League 2026 is set to begin on March 28 with Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad. Following the opening clash, the action moves to Mumbai, where the Kolkata Knight Riders will look to start their campaign on a winning note against MI. With new signings like Cameron Green and Matheesha Pathirana in the team, KKR will be hoping for a good season.
KKR vs MI: Kolkata Knight Riders will kick start their tournament away against the Mumbai Indians on March 29. Historically, KKR has struggled in this fixture, with Mumbai holding a dominant head-to-head advantage of 24 wins to KKR's 11. However, MI have not won an opening match of an IPL season for over 12 years, which will give KKR an edge over their rivals.
KKR vs SRH: On Thursday, April 2, KKR will return to their home turf at Eden Gardens to face Sunrisers Hyderabad. Recently, KKR has held the edge over SRH, notably winning all three encounters between the sides in the 2024 season. The overall head-to-head reflects KKR's consistency in this rivalry, leading SRH with 20 wins compared to 10.
KKR vs PBKS: KKR will host PBKS at their home on April 6. While KKR has historically dominated this fixture with 21 wins to PBKS's 13, the Punjab side won their most recent encounter. PBKS has also found success in high-scoring chases at Eden Gardens in the past, making this an exciting game.
KKR vs LSG: For their final match of the first phase, KKR will face the Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens on April 9. LSG won the first three matches between the two, but KKR struck back with a double-win in 2024. The current head-to-head stands at 4-2 in favour of LSG.
