KKR vs SRH Playing 11
Kolkata Knight Riders
Sunrisers Hyderabad
KKR Probable XI
KKR are still struggling with their missing pacers. Injuries to Harshit Rana and Akash Deep, along with the unavailability of Matheesha Pathirana and Cameron Green’s limited role with the ball, have weakened their bowling attack. More concerning has been the performance of their spin duo, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.
SRH Probable XI
For SRH, Pat Cummins will also miss the first few matches of the IPL 2026. Ishan Kishan will captain the side in his absence. Despite the absence of their captain, SRH have one of the most explosive batting line-ups in T20 cricket, with Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen capable of destroying any bowling attack.
Finn Allen has fond memories of playing at Eden Gardens because he scored the fastest T20 World Cup hundred on this ground. Expect him to come out swinging from ball one tonight.
