KKR vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Will Matheesha Pathirana play today as Kolkata Knight Riders aim to break winless streak

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Live Score: Winless in the tournament so far, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are aiming to return to winning ways at home as they host Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens on Sunday. While Rajasthan Royals are placed third with four wins in five games, KKR languish at the bottom of the table with just one point.

However, the biggest boost for KKR is the arrival of Matheesha Pathirana, who arrived last night in Kolkata. Plagued by injuries in the bowling department long before the start of the tournament, Pathirana's addition comes as a big positive for the three-time champions. It will be interesting to see whether the KKR management plays him straightaway or not.
