OUT! Jaydev Unadkat into his third over, and manages to pick his second wicket. Kartik Tyagi hands a simple caught-behind for 5-ball 5. The DRS call by Tyagi confirms the on-field umpire's decision.Ā

OUT! Nitish Kumar has turned into an unplayable bowler by KKR. Another slower ball, and another wicket for the all-rounder, and this time KKR's vice-captain Rinku Singh has to walk back. Singh slashed hard, but handed a catch to short third man.Ā 

02 Apr, 22:31 (IST)

OUT! Nitish Kumar Reddy comes into the attack and dismisses Anukul Roy for 2-ball 0. Zero movement from the batter, who gives a simple catch to the wicketkeeper. KKRĀ are staring at a defeat, and this despite the home side winning the toss.Ā 

02 Apr, 22:21 (IST)

FIFTY! Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been KKR's go-to batter this IPL. Raghuvanshi has managed to keep his team in the hunt, scoring a 27-ball fifty, which is the second of this season as well.Ā 

02 Apr, 22:07 (IST)

KKR have themselves fallen into a ditch, with the fall of Ajinkya Rahane and Cameron Green's wicket in quick time. Green was run out after a poor call from Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Rinku Singh and Raghuvanshi will need to not only consolidate but also maintain run-rate.

02 Apr, 21:54 (IST)

OUT! A soft dismissal for Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane failed to read Jaydev Unadkat's slower ball.Ā  Despite the fall ofĀ wickets, KKR have managed to maintain the run-rate. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, in particular, has taken upon himself to do the scoring and has reached 29 off 13.

02 Apr, 21:40 (IST)

OUT! Harsh Dubey gets the dangerous Finn Allen. Allen, who wanted to take down Dubey, mistimed the ball and handed a return catch to the bowler. A lucky break for SRH.Ā 

02 Apr, 21:36 (IST)

An explosive start for KKR, the first over has yieldedĀ 25 runs, with Finn Allen single-handedly scoring 25. SRH will need to get early wickets if they want to stop KKR from reaching 227 on this flat track.Ā 

02 Apr, 21:17 (IST)

Heinrich Klaasen completed his fifty and fell immediately, but ensured SRH made it past the 220-run mark. Harsh Dubey and Shivang Dubey did their job too, scoring boundaries in the limited balls they faced. Blessing MuzarabaniĀ claimedĀ four wickets, whileĀ Vaibhav Arora picked two each for KKR. As usual, Varun Chakaravarthy failed to finish his quota of overs.Ā 

02 Apr, 21:07 (IST)

OUT! Bowled Em. Vaibhav Arora has managed to clean up Sahil Arora with a perfect yorker, which shattered the stumps all over. Arora claimed the wicket of Nitish Kumar Reddy on the first ball as well.Ā 

02 Apr, 21:02 (IST)

A super expensive over from Kartik Tyagi sees SRH reach the 200-run mark. This is a stellar stand between Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen, especially given how both batters were out of form.Ā 

02 Apr, 20:47 (IST)

After a flurry of wickets, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen have managed to get things in line for SRH. The duo have added 50 runs in 35 balls, where Klaasen has scored 29. KKR will hope to keep the flow of runs in check in the final few overs.Ā 

02 Apr, 20:33 (IST)

KKR have managed to make a comeback into the contest, picking three wickets in s pan of few overs, which has pegged the run-rate down. Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy have started the consolidation for SRH, adding 22 off 16.Ā 

02 Apr, 20:17 (IST)

OUT! A controversial call, as Abhishek Sharma misses out on a fifty, and falls for 48. Varun Chakaravarthy claimed the catch near the boundary line after Sharma played the hook off Blessing Muzarabani. A mini comeback for KKR.Ā 

02 Apr, 20:12 (IST)

OUT! Finally, a failure for Ishan Kishan. Kishan went for the cut short, but unfortunately found Rinku Singh stationed at sweeper cover as Blessing Muzarabani claims his first wicket. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma is nearing a fifty.Ā 

02 Apr, 19:56 (IST)

OUT! Finally, some respite for KKR as Travis Head misses out on a fifty. Karthik Tyagi manages to pick his first wicket as a mistimed shot finds the fielder at mid-on. Head is gone for 46, thus ending an 82-run stand with Abhishek Sharma.Ā 

02 Apr, 19:47 (IST)

This is a sensational stand already for SRH, with Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head adding 50 runs in merely 4.1 overs. KKR's bowling has looked ordinary, with Head in particular taking the attack on their pacers.Ā 

02 Apr, 19:31 (IST)

SRH will hope Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma provide the franchise a solid start, especially given the latter's poor form. KKR on the other hand, will hope for a better performance from their pacers, who looked pedestrian at Wankhede.Ā

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 continues this evening as the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Eden Gardens. Both franchises are seeking their first victory of the season after suffering defeats in their respective opening fixtures. With the match scheduled to beginĀ in the evening, ground staff have prepared a surface expected to favour stroke-play, though evening dew may influence the decision at the toss. You can followĀ KKR vsĀ SRH IPL 2026 live scorecard here.

Teams Search for Early Momentum

Kolkata Knight Riders return to their home turf following a narrow loss in their first outing. The team, led by Ajinkya Rahane, will be looking to capitalise on home conditions and a vocal local crowd.Ā One canĀ expect minor tactical adjustments to the bowling attack, which struggled to contain runs during the death overs in the previous match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, captained by Ishan Kishan, also find themselves under early pressure. Despite a strong showing from their top order in their opening game, a middle-order collapse proved costly. The 2026 squad features several new international recruits, and the coaching staff will be keen to see a more cohesive performance from the batting unit tonight.

The pitch at Eden Gardens is traditionally known for its pace and carry, often offering assistance to seamers in the early stages before becoming more batting-friendly. Meteorological reports for Kolkata suggest a clear evening with temperatures hovering around 29°C.
