Where To Watch KKR Vs SRH Live?: The sixth match of the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League will be between two teams that have developed a rivalry in recent years, as the Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 6 of the competition. But when will this IPL 2026 match be played, where will it be played, and where can you watch it live? These, among some other questions, will be answered here.
The KKR have had vast success in the IPL. They have lifted the trophy on three occasions, in 2012, 2014, and as recently as 2024, where they defeated SRH in the final. The Knight Riders had quite a disappointing season in 2025, as they finished eighth on the points table, missing out on the playoffs by a mile.
On the other hand, the SRH won their one and only IPL season all the way back in 2016. Since then, they have made a couple of finals, most recently in 2024, where they lost to KKR. Last year was not the most memorable one for this team, as their lethal batting was done in by their mediocre bowling. The Sunrisers finished sixth in 2025.
Where To Watch KKR Vs SRH Live?
The KKR vs SRH was like that of most teams in the league for a long time. The two teams took on each other every year without too much to write home about. However, the two not only faced off in the final of IPL 2024, but they, in their path of reaching the final, revolutionised IPL cricket with their insane high scoring.
The head-to-head record between the two teams is comically one-sided. Across the years, they have faced off against one another 30 times, out of which the Knight Riders have won 20 times, while the Sunrisers have been triumphant on only 10 occasions. Their two games in 2025 saw KKR thrash SRH by 80 runs in the first game, while Hyderabad returned the favour and beat Kolkata by 110 runs in the second.
KKR will be captained by Ajinkya Rahane this season, and this is their probable playing XI with the impact player –
Finn Allen, Timn Seifert (wk), Cameron Green, Angkrush Raghuvanshi, Ajinkya Rahane (C), Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Sunil Narine, Vaibhav Chakravarthy, Varun Chakravarthy, Umran Malik, Matheesha Pathirana*
On the other hand, SRH regular captain Pat Cummins will miss the initial stages of the tournament, and Ishan Kishan will take charge as the skipper in this game. Here is their probable playing XI with the impact player.
Travis Head. Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (C) (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Aniket Verma, Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Mavi, Zeeshan Ansari, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga*
