KKR have won the toss and elected to bowl first
DC have included Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI for today'a match
The match is being played at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will lock horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) in the final league match of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the popular Eden Gardens on Sunday, May 24.
While DC are out of the tournament, KKR still have an outside chance of making into the playoffs. If Rajasthan Royals (RR) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) in the day game at Wankhede, they they'll make it into the final four, leaving the last match inconsequential.
However, if RR lose then they'll be out of the competition and KKR will have a probable chance of securing a seat in the playoffs. If RR lose to MI, then KKR will have to beat DC by 77 runs or more, if they bat first or chase down the target set by them in 12.1 overs or less.
The injury ghost which haunted KKR in the start of the season is still not leaving them as their in-form youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been ruled out of IPL 2026, while Varun Chakravarthy's availability is not certain.
