The stage is set for the 70th game of the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026. Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Delhi Capitals at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on May 24. It is worth noting that this could be the make-or-break game for Kolkata Knight Riders.
The three-time champions will have a chance to qualify for the playoffs of the tournament if Rajasthan Royals lose their clash against Mumbai Indians, even after that, KKR will have to register a huge victory against the already eliminated Delhi Capitals.
The side will be coming into the game on the back of a win, and they will hope to put in another win as they would still hold onto hope to qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament.
