Lucknow Super Giants will go up against the Kolkata Knight Riders in our eighth fixture of TATA IPL 2026 on April 26 at Ekana. The match will begin at 7:30 PM IST.

The defeat against the Rajasthan Royals saw our boys find themselves in a challenging situation, where the bowlers’ tight spells proved to be a silver lining in a rather tough result.

Mohammad Shami (2/30), Prince Yadav (2/29) and Mohsin Khan (2/17) bowled economical spells. Moreover, Mohsin Khan recorded his second maiden over of the season, the most by any player in the ongoing tournament, giving him a confidence boost ahead of the upcoming clash.

Now, we set our eyes on the KKR encounter! The first half of the season didn’t quite go as planned, which only enhances our hunger to record Ws in each of our remaining seven league phase matches to remain in contention for the playoffs.

The last meeting with Kolkata ended in a dramatic three-wicket victory for the Super Giants off the final ball, where Mukul Choudhary’s spell-binding 54* off 27, including seven maximums, took us over the line under thrilling circumstances. Mukul, we’re manifesting the same on Sunday night!

As it stands, the Lucknow Super Giants occupy the ninth spot with four points from seven matches, whereas the Kolkata Knight Riders are a point adrift, having played the same number of matches.

LSG Brigade, we need you louder than ever this Sunday. Bring that energy back to our folks and let’s turn the tide together because AB APNI BAARI HAI!
