IPL(IPL 2026) In the first match of ‘Super Sunday’, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders(SRH vs KKR) was expected to be a tight fight.

Chasing 166 with 10 balls to spare, Knight Camp won the match with seven wickets in hand.

Sunrisers’ top order batsmen started in a destructive mood, but KKR’s spinners brought the team back into the match. In the beginning, Abhishek Sharma was dismissed by Karthik Tyagi for 15 runs to give KKR success. But then Ishan Kishan and Travis Head took control of the innings. Head scored a fifty off 22 balls. Sunrisers crossed the hundred mark in nine overs. However, after returning Varun Head for 61 runs, Sunrisers’ batting started collapsing. ‘Orange Army’ lost the last nine wickets by just 60 runs.
