IPL 2026 KKR vs SRH Live Cricket Score Streaming Online Today Match: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) host the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their first home match of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the iconic Eden Gardens on Thursday. Both sides come into the match having suffered defeat in their opening games. SRH lost to defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in the season opener after which KKR lost to Mumbai Indians by the same margin in the second match of the season.
KKR will be hoping that their star spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy can find some purchase on a pitch that had been a big talking point in the early parts of the previous season. Historically, Eden Gardens has been a stronghold of KKR, winning 54 out of 95 matches since 2008. However, KKR’s start has already hit a few early bumps as expectedly with their thin bowling resources.
SRH boast a star-studded top order comprising Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Travis Head. But their bowling looks vulnerable — especially in the absence of Pat Cummins, who is yet to return to full match fitness — as they failed to defend 201 against RCB. The Australian skipper has resumed bowling in the nets and is targeting a comeback in the middle of the tournament, but for now, SRH must manage without their leader. In the opener, bowlers like Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jaydev Unadkat, Harshal Patel and Eshan Malinga struggled to contain the opposition.
