Kolkata Knight Riders vs opponents

26 April 2026

Kolkata Knight Riders opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi was given out "obstructing the field" on 26 April 2026 — the highest-profile use of one of cricket's rarest dismissals in IPL history. Third umpire Rohan Pandit ruled that Raghuvanshi had changed his line while watching the throw, denying the fielding side a clean run-out attempt. The decision turned on the question of intent, and split the cricket world.

Mohsin Khan's 5/23 vs KKR — Career-Best Spoiled by a Final-Ball Six

Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders

26 April 2026

Mohsin Khan produced career-best figures of 5/23 against KKR at Ekana on 26 April 2026 — the LSG left-arm seamer's first IPL five-for. The bowling effort was eventually overshadowed by Mohammed Shami's final-ball six and Sunil Narine's Super Over for KKR, but the spell will stand in Mohsin's career as the night he announced himself as a death-overs specialist.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants

9 April 2026

Kolkata Knight Riders opener Finn Allen was given out for 9 in the second over of his side's IPL 2026 chase against Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens, after Digvesh Rathi took a low catch at the deep third boundary.
