IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch KKR Vs DC, Know All Details
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals will enter Sundays IPL 2026 league-stage finale at Eden Gardens knowing their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. While both teams are still mathematically alive in the race for the final knockout berth, qualification scenarios remain heavily dependent on results elsewhere. The key equation centres around Punjab Kings clash against the already-eliminated Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday. A Punjab victory would officially end Delhis campaign and leave KKR requiring a massive win over DC to overcome Punjabs superior net run-rate. Even a narrow PBKS victory would mean Kolkata need a huge margin of victory to stay in contention. Both teams will also hope for Mumbai Indians to defeat Rajasthan Royals in the first game on Sunday, the penultimate match of the league stage, with RR capable of sealing qualification by reaching 16 points. Delhis inconsistent campaign has largely revolved around the performances of KL Rahul, who has scored 533 runs at a strike rate above 171. The return of David Miller has strengthened the middle order, but underwhelming bowling displays from Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have hurt DC throughout the season. KKR, meanwhile, have staged a strong comeback after an injury-hit start disrupted their bowling unit. Six wins in their last seven matches have revived Kolkatas hopes and restored momentum heading into the final league fixture. When: Sunday, May 24, 7:30 IST Where: Eden Gardens, Kolkata Where to watch: The KKR vs DC match will be broadcast on Star Sports channels, with JioHotstar live-streaming the game. Squads: Where to watch: The KKR vs DC match will be broadcast on Star Sports channels, with JioHotstar live-streaming the game.

Rayudu also highlighted the mental challenges young cricketers face while handling pressure and expectations in franchise cricket. Those guys know when to switch on in terms of their game, when to come back. But a lot of these young boys don't know how to switch off or switch on. That's a big challenge and I'm sure he has learnt and he has learnt it the hard way, he said.
