Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have turned their IPL 2026 campaign around with a remarkable four-match winning streak, including an impressive eight-wicket victory against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. After starting the season poorly, KKR now holds 9 points from 10 matches, placing them seventh in the points table, just one point behind the sixth-placed Chennai Super Kings. To qualify for the playoffs, KKR needs to secure 17 points, which they can achieve by winning their remaining four matches. However, this will be a challenging task as they face formidable teams like Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans, both of which are currently above them in the standings. In their latest match, KKR successfully chased down a target of 142 runs, thanks to Finn Allen's maiden IPL century and a strong partnership with Cameron Green. KKR's bowlers, including Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine, played a crucial role in restricting Delhi Capitals to 141/8.
