Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), at rock bottom, finally had some light creep in through the crevice on Sunday (April 19, 2026) as it bagged its first win and much-needed two points in the ongoing IPL 2026.
KKR made heavy weather of the modest target of 156 set by Rajasthan Royals (RR), but celebrated with the fervour of a title triumph at Eden Gardens. It also snapped an eight-game winless run across two seasons for the home team.
