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 Team News
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. Due to tensions in Bangladesh, the BCCI took this step, leaving KKR without one of their overseas players. Their next setbacks came in the form of injuries. Harshit Rana injured his hamstring during the T20 World Cup 2026 warm-up games and was ruled out of IPL 2026. 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 Team News
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. Led by Mohammed Shami, the bowling attack performed exceptionally to restrict SRH to a score of 156 runs. Shami took two wickets while going for only nine runs in his four overs and was named the player of the match.
