KKR IPL 2026 Stats: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), despite starting the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season winless after the first six games, have seen a few incredible performances. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been the star performer with the bat in hand for the three-time champions. Meanwhile, Kartik Tyagi and Sunil Narine have led a highly inexperienced bowling lineup. In their latest game, KKR defeated Shubam Gill’s Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens to keep their playoff hopes alive. While the KKR IPL 2026 qualification scenario remains tricky, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side has a great chance to finish with some wins by playing at home.
Kolkata Knight Riders are currently placed seventh on the IPL 2026 points table, having won five of its 12 games. The Shah Rukh Khan-co-owned franchise had one of its games abandoned earlier in the season against the Punjab Kings in Kolkata.
