After Abhishek Sharma departed early, Travis Head smashed his way to a 28-ball 61 against the Kolkata Knight Riders to help Sunrisers Hyderabad cross the 100-run mark in the 9th over. But after that, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost quick wickets: in fact, SRH slumped from 105/1 to 156/9. Pat Cummins’s Sunrisers Hyderabad opted to bat first in the afternoon game against Ajinkya Rahane’s Kolkata Knight Riders in the first game of double-header Sunday in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL).

KKR also seem to have found their feet after a horror start in which they were without a win for six games. It remains to be seen if it was all too little too late but KKR do come into this match having won both of their previous two fixtures. For them to make it to the playoffs from here, though, they will have to win practically every match and then hope for other results to go their way. They may have played only eight games this season but KKR are already in a zone where every match they play is a must-win.

Varun Chakaravarthy, still in considerable pain after trying to stop a ferocious shot from Ishan Kishan a couple of overs ago with his foot, is hobbling. But he's determined to finish off his fourth over. And after two dot balls, he gets Aniket to offer a catch to karthik Tyagi on the third ball!

But Tyagi is too wide and can only dive in despair. To makes matter worse, the ball runs to the boundary. On the next ball itself, Varun Chakaravarthy induces another false shot from Aniket Verma, and Ajinkya Rahane runs about 15 metres and takes the catch despite the sun being in his eyes.

Kolkata Knight Riders come into this game after a wretched campaign, which they are only starting to correct now. They are currently on a stretch of two wins in a row. but Hyderabad will severely test that.

The man at the forefront of KKR’s revival is Rinku Singh, who has broken from the mold of being a finisher and has stepped up as the backbone of Kolkata's batting. An unbeaten 83 against Lucknow Super Giants besides a fighting half century versus Rajasthan Royals highlight his growing influence for the three-time champions.

HOLA

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the IPL 2026 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders. It's a battle between a team that's in third spot in the IPL standings who could go on top with a win today and a team that's third from the bottom of the standings who is trying hard not to end at the bottom of the pile this season.

Pat Cummins: I'm going to live life

Pat Cummins has never thought of himself as a leader.

"I think for most of my life I've always been the youngest person in the room. I never really felt like a leader at all," he told Elizabeth Day on her podcast How to Fail.

Then Australia asked him to captain the Test side in November 2021. Then he won the World Test Championship. Then the 2023 ODI World Cup. Then SRH handed him their IPL franchise and he turned them into one of the most watchable teams in the tournament's history, liberating a batting order that had forgotten it was allowed to swing.

Abhishek Sharma, the main beneficiary of what followed, put it plainly on the YouTube show Breakfast with Champions: "Marte hue out hona chahiye, darte hue nahi. I am fine with the team being 100 all out, but I don't want safe scores of 160 or 170."

That was Cummins speaking through Sharma. The captain who didn't seek the role, expressing it through the batter who most completely understood it. READ MORE
