KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction, IPL 2026 Match 28: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are on the verge of being eliminated from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. They are currently on a six-game losing streak and sit at the bottom of the standings. KKR are set to play against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a home match.
The competition is scheduled to take place at Eden Gardens on Sunday at 3:30 PM IST. From a mathematical perspective, KKR still possesses an opportunity, but a loss on Sunday could undermine their campaign.

They require a fast response, as they are up against one of the top teams in this tournament. RR struggled in their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), but prior to that, they recorded four impressive victories.
