Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a crucial game of the IPL 2026 at the Eden Gardens. This is a very important game for the Knight Riders, who are yet to win a game. The team lost the first two games to the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), respectively, before the last game against the Punjab Kings was called off. KKR won the title in 2024, but the departure of Shreyas Iyer has been a big setback.
Meanwhile, LSG lost the first game to Delhi Capitals, but came back strongly to beat SRH. LSG will be confident of doing well against KKR, who are down on confidence and form. But KKR as hosts, will have some advantage in the game.
KKR vs LSG Pitch Report
The wicket at the Eden Gardens is a great one to bat. The boundaries are short, and the pitch is usually flat. The new ball might do a bit, but the conditions will heavily favor the batsmen.
