The IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Eden Gardens was abandoned due to relentless rain, resulting in both teams sharing a point. KKR, who entered the match without key spin bowlers Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, struggled early, finding themselves at 25 for 2 in just 3.4 overs. PBKS's bowler Xavier Bartlett made a significant impact, taking two wickets in his second over, dismissing Finn Allen for 6 and Cameron Green for 4. Despite attempts to resume play, heavy rain and a thunderstorm forced officials to abandon the match around 11 pm. PBKS now sits at the top of the IPL table with five points from three matches, while KKR remains at one point from three outings. The match's abandonment marks a repeat of a similar incident in IPL 2025, highlighting Eden Gardens' vulnerability to rain. KKR will face Lucknow Super Giants next, with more rain expected.
