Kolkata Knight Riders will be hosting Lucknow Super Giants in game 15 of the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026. The two sides will take on each other at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 9. The clash could prove to be a must-win for Kolkata Knight Riders, as the three-time champions are yet to win a game in the ongoing season.
Kolkata Knight Riders sit in ninth place in the standings with just one point to their name. They got the one point against Punjab Kings when rain played spoilsport, and the game was abandoned.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants sit in 7th place in the standings. With one win and one loss in two games, the side has two points to their name, and they will hope to register their second win as they take on KKR.
