Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to host Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 28 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the iconic Eden Gardens.
KKR’s campaign has struggled to get going. Led by Ajinkya Rahane, they have managed just one point from six matches, courtesy of a rain-affected game against Punjab Kings. The side has looked out of sync, with neither the batting nor bowling units firing consistently. A lack of cohesion has hurt them badly, leaving them desperate for a turnaround.
In contrast, RR have emerged as one of the more composed teams this season. Under the leadership of Riyan Parag, the Royals have built momentum through steady performances, picking up crucial wins to stay firmly in contention near the top of the table.
