KKR vs RR LIVE Score: There it is! Rinku Singh gets another short one which he helps along for six over fine leg.
That's KKR's first win of the season, and much needed for them. It was a chase of 156, got too complicated in the middle, but the nervelessness of Rinku Singh late on gets them over the line.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Rinku Singh has stepped up to the plate! Overpitched now, Rinku knows the shot he wants – pumps it over extra cover, one bounce for four!
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Wrong line! On his hips, RInku can swivel and help it past fine leg! Great shot to find the boundary with minimal risk.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: That should never have been two runs but Rinku Singh is a hard runner, puts pressure on long off and makes it back comfortably – also keeps the strike for the last over!
9 needed off 6. It's Brijesh with the last…
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Anukul Roy! The SMAT player of the tournament hasn't arrived at the IPL with the bat, but this could be the night! It's a good ball from Archer, full and pacy, with not much width, but Anukul is so ready for it. Sends it flying over the off-side with a terrific swing of the bat!
13 needed off 9…
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Really interesting finish coming up. Jofra Archer with the penultimate over. Don't go anywhere.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: KKR are roaring back into this one! Too short first up, helped along past fine leg, and then too full – Rinku can poke it through the gap in the off-side!
Suddenly it's only 28 needed off 18…
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: MUCH NEEDED FOR KKR! Anukul Roy joins in – gets width from Bishnoi, and it's a great hit from him, over extra-cover all the way. Excellent shot, relatively risk free, and it leaves 40 needed in the last 4.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Much-needed! Boundaries drying up but with the rate nearly at 12, one six an over is the goal for Rinku. That sounded sweet as he whacked it into the stands.
48 needed off 27…
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: BAD TO WORSE! Floated up outside off stump from the young teenager, asks Ramandeep to try and hit it through covers. It's such a slow pitch that Ramandeep simply doesn't time it at all – off his inside edge and rockets into the stumps!
85/6 now. KKR in trouble.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Jadeja should have 3! It's a horrific shot from Rinku Singh, trying to fetch a ball miles outside off-stump and send it over midwicket. It's sliced right into the air, and should be a simple catch for Burger inside the ring – but somehow he shells it!
Jadeja furious. You have to think that would have been the game.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Wickets keep tumbling! That's the ball to hit – in his half, not a lot of turn, with some pace on it. Powell miscues it and doesn't hit it cleanly enough – floats down to long-on and it's an easy catch!
Powell scores 23 but can't kick on when they need.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: GONE! Jadeja angles it into Raghuvanshi from around the wicket, and the batter's attempted reverse sweep doesn't work out. Hits him on his pads adjacent, and it looks pretty out. Takes the review but he's already walking off.
Make that 52/4 after 7 overs. A long long way to go still for the hosts, playing themselves into trouble!
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Dhruv Jurel take a bow! That is a sensational bit of wicketkeeping – the best stumping you will see for years to come. Bishnoi slides it down leg as he sees Green advancing, but the angle leaves Jurel a lot to do. Not only does he collect it despite being blinded by Green, but from a distance with his momentum taking him away from the stumps, flicks it back at the stumps, and hits his target!
That's some special wicket-keeping. KKR in big trouble are 37/3!
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Some important 4s from Green to get some runs on the board.
Off Burger in the fourth over, he gets inside the line and hammers it deep over midwicket – cracking shot!
31/2 after 4 overs.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: When it's bad it's tough to course correct, and even chasing 156, KKR are finding out! Too close to try and cut, even with Burger's angle – a thin under-edge from the KKR captain, and Jurel does the rest!
Suddenly 5/2. KKR need a partnership.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: He has made a habit out of taking wickets with the first ball of an innings! Quick, straight, accurate, rushes Seifert, who can't jam his bat down in time. Flicks his pad and goes on to knock his off-stump over – what bowling, and KKR can't help but make things complicated for themselves!
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Jofra Archer gets one boundary away but not much else otherwise – and the score at the end is 155/9!
After an 81-run opening stand, all 9 wickets fell for just 74 runs. There is a makeable target for KKR – can they finally grab a win?
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: One, two, three and KKR have RR 8 down! Where has this been all tournament from them? A good bowling attack in form can do just that – 3 for Varun, two for Narine, and now three for Kartik Tyagi, in one over!
First Jadeja, then Hetmyer, then Bishnoi. Excellent close to his spell. 146/8.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: He had no clue where the ball was going – completely run around by the bowler, who makes it stick just a bit and catch the outside edge.
Terrific, terrific bowling from the spinners. RR go 5 wickers down with 4 overs to plaj
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Chakravarthy has finally remembered what works for him and is doing it to RR. This one looks like a regular orthodox spinner, but pulls Parag into a big stride before it beats him and takes the top of his off-stump!
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: RR's middle order taking a few balls to settle in and reverse the momentum of the RRR innings.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: KKR are pulling things back big time! Width from Narine, the shot is on but Jaiswal miscues it – doesn't get enough elevation as he tries to clear Rahane at extra-cover inside the ring, and the fielder does the rest!
99/3 very suddenly.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: What's happened there, Dhruv Jurel! Has got himself compeltely twisted up attempting the reverse sweep – doesn't make contact and loses balance, and Seifert is very sharp with the gloves to whip off the bails before he can make his ground!
Good from KKR, 97/2 now.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: WOW! You cannot stop watching that. Ramandeep goes full into Jaiswal with pace on, and the batter plays that incredibly well. Gets inside the line, gets low, and scoops it over himself and all the way for six over the wicketkeeper's head!
Great creativity.
KKR vs RR LIVE Score: Varun Chakravarthy gets his wicket! This is more like him at his best – coming on and striking early on! Angles it across Sooryavanshi, who goes for the big hoick but can only slice it. Ramandeep in the deep nearly makes a meal of it but his hands are always good enough – well taken.
81/1 now, after 9. KKR claw back ground.
KKR VS RR, IPL 2026 LIVE Score: A couple of good overs from KKR to tighten the screws and prevent boundaries.
Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal will always be able to catch up.
KKR VS RR, IPL 2026 LIVE Score: A big over off Green right at the end to give RR another terrific powerplay at over 10 rpo.
The powerplay growing. KKR in trouble as it keeps going.
Jaiswal with some creativity to find 4 with a reverse-scoop to find 4 and end the powerplay.
KKR VS RR, IPL 2026 LIVE Score: Boundaries flowing now! First Jaiswal who breaks his shackles with a big hit, before turning it over to Sooryavanshi whose free swing ensures it flies down the ground for six more!
Danger signs for KKR.
KKR VS RR, IPL 2026 LIVE Score: Best bowlers in IPL history, one by one joining Sooryavanshi's list of opponents taken down! Gets it in his arc and hammers it through the leg-side. Not a monstrous one, but just over the boundary ropes for six.
Narine bowling well to him – coaxes a couple of big swings and misses. Won't mind that hit.
KKR VS RR, IPL 2026 LIVE Score: Here we go! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi begins to find his boundaries. Vaibhav angling it across and he is happy to smoke a cut through the covers with immense power twice in a row, before later playing a sumptuous and clever upper cut for four more.
The kind of ball that got him out against SRH – but a good correction, gets him four here.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: Good bowling from KKR, ensuring they use this slightly slow pitch to prevent Jaiswal from being able to time it perfectly.
20/0 after 3.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: Good ball from Tyagi! Angled across and produces the edge. Just past the wicketkeeper to get him four.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: Quiet one. Jaiswal gets a four away but things are kept tight from Vaibhav Arora otherwise.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: Here we go then! KKR no their biggest chance, their best chance, maybe their only chance, is to take early wickets. Vaibhav Arora the one that they turn to with the fresh new ball.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: No changes for KKR today.
Ajinkya Rahane (c), Tim Seifert (wk), Cameron Green, Rovman Powell, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Ramandeep Singh, Anukul Roy, Vaibhav Arora, Kartik Tyagi, Varun Chakaravarthy
Impact players: Manish Pandey, Finn Allen, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Tejasvi Singh, Navdeep Saini
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: Brijesh for Deshpande, Hetmyer back for Pretorius.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Riyan Parag (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Brijesh Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi
Impact: Sandeep Sharma, Shubham Dubey, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Ravi Singh, Yash Punja
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: Riyan Parag wins the toss and opts to bat first in this day game! Rahane wanted to bat first too. Expecting spin and turn to play a factor in this one, is Parag. Team news next.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: 20 minutes to the toss. Heat is beginning to come in all around India as the summer well and truly begins. RR won't mind batting first or second, but will likely fancy their chances of making pressure count against an undercooked KKR batting. KKR don't really have a clear go-to; what will Rahane and co. decide is their strength?
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: The last time these two met, in IPL 2025, it was one of the matches of the tournament. In a rollercoaster match, RR's middle order issues meant they were left with 21 runs to get from the last over, despite needing 42 off 30 at one point.
Shubham Dubey made things very interesting – he hammered a couple of sixes and a boundary to take it down to the last ball, but wasn't able to get the power he wanted behind it. A dramatic last-ball run-out with Rinku Singh's scampering fielding in the deep – one of RR's many tight losses in that year.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: RR saw their first loss of the season after SRH's debutants ran them through to leave them 9/5 and behind the 8-ball. It was a shocking result given how strong RR had been – but such is the high risk high reward style of modern T20s. RR are great components of it – firmly in the playoff zone, with a chance to go top today.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: In one of the worst starts in the history of the IPL, Kolkata have managed to garner just one point from their first six matches. Five losses, and no convincing performances – things haven't clicked to make them look competitive. Even with noses ahead, they have managed to lose – the malaise in the camp is running very deep.
KKR VS RR LIVE Score: Super Sunday in the IPL! The double header starts off at the historic Eden Gardens, which hasn't had the kind of performances from its team that it truly deserves. KKR are desperate to reverse their trend of losing, but run into RR, who have a chance to be the first to 10 points and go top of the table. Clear favourites in this one – but you never say such things in the IPL.
