Earlier, Rishabh Pant, Lucknow Super Giants captain, won the toss at Eden Gardens against Kolkata Knight Riders in match no.15 of the IPL 2026 at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. Rishah Pant decided to bowl first in a clash that could be affected by rain. For KKR, Sunil Narine came back into the side, replacing Blessing Muzarabani in the team.
Kolkata Knight Riders come into this crucial clash against Lucknow Super Giants having won their first point. The point that many believed was a gift from the rain gods opened the campaign of the three-time champions. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant’s LSG also won their first game in their previous encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Kolkata Knight Riders have started their campaign on a sour note. The three-time champions faced setback after setback even before the season began. It all started with BCCI directing the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned franchise to release Mustafizur Rahman from their team. Matheesha Pathirana injured himself during the ICC event. Pathirana, who has not been ruled out of the IPL, is yet to receive medical clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket. Akash Deep was then ruled out of the tournament, suffering an injury before the IPL 2026 began.
Lucknow Super Giants, led by Rishabh Pant, also started their campaign with a defeat. Captaining his team against his former side, Pant’s LSG lost to Delhi Capitals by six wickets. It was a colossal batting failure for the Super Giants in the opening game as they were bowled out for 141 runs. Meanwhile, in their following game, the Sanjiv Goenka-owned side bounced back strongly.
Ajinkya Rahane (C), Finn Allen, Cameron Green, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (wk), Rovman Powell, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Anukul Roy, Navdeep Saini, Vaibhav Arora, Kartik Tyagi, Blessing Muzarabani, Manish Pandey, Tejasvi Dahiya, Saurabh Dubey, Sunil Narine, Rahul Tripathi, Tim Seifert, Sarthak Ranjan, Rachin Ravindra, Prashant Solanki, Varun Chakaravarthy, Matheesha Pathirana, Umran Malik, Daksh Kamra
Rishabh Pant (C and wk), Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, Abdul Samad, Mukul Choudhary, Manimaran Siddharth, Avesh Khan, Mohammed Shami, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Prince Yadav, Matthew Breetzke, Shahbaz Ahmed, Anrich Nortje, Himmat Singh, Akshat Raghuwanshi, Josh Inglis, Naman Tiwari, Arshin Kulkarni, Mayank Prabhu Yadav, Akash Maharaj Singh, Arjun Tendulkar, Mohsin Khan, Wanindu Hasaranga
Vaibhav Arora started with a solid first over. The Indian pacer after hit for a four on the first ball by Mitchell Marsh bounced back strongly to give only two more runs in the rest of the over.
KKR finish with 181 — not a bad total at all on this surface. Prince Yadav started bowling cutters which made it tough for the batters. KKR will feel they can make this a contest if they’re smart with their lengths. LSG started brilliantly, got Finn Allen early, but Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s promotion worked as he stitched a solid stand with Rahane and brought KKR back. LSG hit back again with quick wickets and even had a phase of 14 runs in 4 overs with 3 scalps, but lost control at the death by missing yorkers and offering slot balls.
Let’s defend this one, Knights 🤞💜 pic.twitter.com/vaS0QIDaFv
