The 15th match of IPL 2026 will be played at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. Earlier, a match between KKR and PBKS was held in this ground, which had to be canceled due to rain. However, at present there seems to be little chance of rain in today's match. It is expected that an exciting match will be seen on this ground today.
IPL 2026 Today Match KKR vs LSG: In the 15th match of IPL 2026, the match will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday 9 April. LSG has bowled the best in the powerplay in IPL 2026. In two matches, the team has taken 7 wickets in the first 6 overs and their economy rate has been only 4.58, which is the best this season. On the other hand, KKR's powerplay batting has been quite aggressive. His run rate is 11.29, which is the second best in this tournament. However, during this period he has also lost 6 wickets.
KKR's weak bowling: injured players become a problem
KKR's bowling looks weak at the moment as many of their key bowlers are injured. Varun Chakravarthy (hand injury) and Sunil Narine (illness) could not play the last match against Punjab Kings. However, that match was canceled due to rain in Kolkata itself. In such a situation, KKR team is more dependent on the batsmen for its victory. Now it remains to be seen how they perform against the strong bowling of LSG.

Big change in LSG's bowling, contribution of Prince Yadav
Although the tournament is still in its early stages, the change in LSG's bowling has become the big story of this season. Fast bowler Prince Yadav has performed brilliantly. Prince, who took only 3 wickets in 6 matches last season, has taken 4 wickets in only 2 matches this time. His economy rate has been 7.71. He has troubled the batsmen with his fast pace, hard length and accurate yorkers. Along with Mohammed Shami, he has become a major reason for LSG's success in the powerplay.
LSG form and KKR status
LSG had lost against Delhi Capitals in their first match, but after that they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets. His bowling was strong in both these matches. On the other hand, KKR has played 3 matches so far and has not been able to register a single win. The team got its only point from a match canceled due to rain. In that match also, KKR's score was 25/2 in 3.4 overs.
Relief for KKR: Sunil Narine's return possible
The good news for KKR is that Narine is now fit and can return to the playing eleven. Apart from this, Cameron Green is also expected to contribute in bowling against LSG.
