Sunrisers Hyderabad, the most in-form side in IPL 2026 right now, are up against Kolkata Knight Riders, a side just fighting for survival. Two big points will power SRH to the top of the points table, almost securing their spot in the playoffs. On the other hand, with two points, KKR will boost their hopes for the top four finish after a poor start to their campaign.

Varun Chakravarthy wins the POTM award

Varun Chakravarthy wins the Player of the Match award for his brilliant 3 wickets for 36 figures today.

"It's just the impact pain. Still, I'm not able to put my foot fully down. He hit it very fast, and I had to stop it as he hit it very straight; otherwise it would've been a four. I've been saying this every year. When the IPL starts, the first four matches are going to be flat wickets. Because Head was extending his hands very well, I didn't want him to do that. The guys are coming together. Nice to see the batting group finish it this way. We can make a serious dent in the IPL."

Pat Cummins reflects on SRH defeat

"Not our best day. We got off to a pretty good start. From where we were, we should have found a way to get 200 or 180. You've just got to adapt. Our first eight or ten overs were excellent. I think 180 or something like that [was par]. It did dry up. We dragged it right to the end. There are only a few moments that can make the difference."
