KKR Vs RR Match Prediction, IPL 2026: Who Will Win Indian Premier League Match 28 Today?

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals in match 28 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the renowned Eden Gardens on Sunday, April 19.

KKR has a dismal season so far and are sitting at the bottom of the points table with only one point from six matches. They'll be vying to get their first win of the tournament and bring some momentum into their campaign.

The three-time champions have been marred with injuries to their premier pacers even before the season, when they lost their premier Indian pacers, Harshit Rana and Akashdeep Singh, due to injuries.

On top of that, their most expensive buy, Cameron Green, entered the league with restrictions on his bowling, which further weakened KKR's pace battery. Also, their spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine hasn't been very effective, which has reflected on their performance in the season.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals, who won their first four successive matches, witnessed a blip in their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, as their top-order collapsed. However, despite the loss, they are still one of the top teams of the tournament, given their batting prowess and will enter the match as favourites.
