IPL 2026, KKR vs SRH Playing 11 Today Match, Full Squad: Kolkata Knight Riders will look to dust themselves off from the defeat by Mumbai Indians while Sunrisers Hyderabad will also look to put the loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the rear view mirror as the two wounded sides face each other at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. IPL Today Match 2026, KKR vs SRH: Date, Time, Venue, Predicted Playing XI, Head-to-Head, Pitch Report The Eden pitch is typically sporting with KKR alleging a lot of times last season that it does not play to their twin-spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy’s strengths. That debate is likely to continue this season as well but KKR are likely to still start with Varun and Narine who provides the necessary experience in KKR’s inexperienced seam bowling lineup. With Ajinkya Rahane, Finn Allen and Cameron Green looking in good touch, it’s unlikely KKR will tinker with the batting lineup. With Eden offering a batting surface it’ll be interesting to see if Rovman Powell gets a chance in place of Ramandeep Singh or Anukul Roy. Coming to SRH, they have the same problem like Kolkata– a pretty underwhelming bowling lineup and it gets even weaker due to the absence of Pat Cummins. They might also draft in Liam Livingstone in place of Salil Arora and also bring in an extra spinner, in case the Eden Gardens offers some turn. They are likely to go with the same batting lineup due to Eden being a good batting surface. KKR vs SRH Predicted Playing XIs SRH: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (C & WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora, Aniket Verma, Harsh Dubey, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga.
