Mumbai Indians, who are already knocked out of IPL 2026, will visit Kolkata on Wednesday to take on three-time champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, at Eden Gardens.
KKR have rediscovered the form that made them champions not too long ago, but the timing of their revival has made every remaining game feel like a final.
Five victories from their last six outings have dragged a campaign that appeared dead back into contention, yet Ajinkya Rahane's side knows that anything other than a win on Wednesday at Eden Gardens will bring their IPL 2026 journey to an end.
Finn Allen has been devastating at the top of the order, Angkrish Raghuvanshi has provided composure and runs in the middle, and Cameron Green's belated arrival into form at number four has given the batting genuine depth and balance.
The one cloud hanging over this fixture is the fitness of Matheesha Pathirana, who left the field with a hamstring concern just eight balls into his KKR debut. His availability is still being assessed, and his absence would take a significant bite out of a bowling attack that will need its best performance.
