Unchanged kolkata knight riders

Unchanged Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, with the hosts fielding an unchanged side.

Both KKR and SRH smashed 200-plus totals in their first game of the competition, but ended up on the losing side due to lacklustre bowling performances. “We are going to bowl first. There is always room for improvement, but there were a lot of positives.

“We generally don't see so much grass, rain around, and that's why we wanted to bowl first. Not sure about the dew as there's a breeze going around. It should be good for 40 overs. He (Cam Green) is doing everything he needs to do. He should bowl soon,” said Rahane after winning the toss.
