KKR vs DC: Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders got off to the worst start possible in IPL 2026. The Knight Riders were winless in the first six games. However, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side has had a great turnaround, winning six of their next seven games and finds themselves in the race to the playoffs even though they need a huge win and, more importantly, the Rajasthan Royals to lose the ongoing match against the Mumbai Indians.
KKR vs DC: Delhi Capitals Preview
It is yet another trademark Delhi Capitals season. The Axar Patel-led side started off with a couple of wins and then lost a couple of games, including a one-run defeat to GT. DC failed in their next few games and won only two of their nine games. Coming into this game against the Knight Riders, DC have been eliminated from the IPL 2026 playoffs race despite winning two games on the bounce.

KKR vs DC: Kolkata Knight Riders Playoffs Scenario in focus
Kolkata Knight Riders’ playoffs scenario remains in focus ahead of their clash against the Delhi Capitals. While the Ajinkya Rahane-led side could be knocked out if RR wins the afternoon game against the Mumbai Indians, they can make it to the playoffs if the result goes in their favour. The hosts would then have to register a thumping victory by around 70 or more runs to get their net run rate past Punjab Kings.
