KKR vs MI Highlights IPL 2026: KKR get crucial 2 points in playoff bid, subject MI to 9th defeat to stay alive in race

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: That's that! Rinku Singh finishes it with 7 balls left, and that's enough to push KKR level with PBKS on points – and pull the NRR within reasonable limits too! Remember, KKR wrap up the season – so that could be a significant fact. In fact, KKR might ask themselves if they could have done this even quicker.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: KKR in control with Rinku and concussion sub Tejasvi Dahiya, who is earning his debut as a like-for-like replacement for Angkrish Raghuvanshi.

Should be KKR's chase.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Corbin Bosch, what a match he is having! Rovman Powell first hits a big slog for six and tries to flay away the spinner again, through off – it's going at such a pace, but Bosch at backward point can only react and hold out two hands and hope it stucks – and my, does it! He's off the floor taking one that is absolutely flying, what a grab!

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Can't quite take KKR home and can't quite get to fifty, out on 45! It's a great delivery, as you have come to expect from Bumrah – pitches on a perfect length, seams back into Pandey a long way, who can't catch up to the horizontal movement, rooted in his crease. Top of his stumps, and there might be a crack for MI!

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Should be simple work from here with Manish Pandey marshalling the chase and Rovman Powell giving him good company. The goal might be to make up some NRR difference too.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: KKR well ahead at the moment – 56 needed off 54 with plenty of wickets still in the bank. MI punished for not taking their chances.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: NOT WHAT YOU NEED DEFENDING NEXT TO NOTHING! Skied mile high from Powell, easiest catch you can imagine, but no communication from deep square and deep fine at all! They just look at each other as it falls between them! Trouble now for MI as they don't take their chance.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: ANOTHER BIG WICKET! A plan that comes into practice – short into the big man, who hits it well but straight to the fielder at deep fine! Not enough on that to take it for six, and MI are roaring back into it! 54/3

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: A breakthrough just when they needed it! MI were beginning to get hit around, and Bosch pulls things back just in time. Outside off, Rahane tries to poke at it on the backfoot but a thin edge behind for a simple catch.

51/2 after 6 – KKR ahead, but an opening for MI.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: That kind of tournament for Bumrah! Nothing he does is resulting in success – even mis-hits running away for four.

Just the impetus KKR needed. MI still in search of wickets.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Watchful start. MI know their only way back into this is wickets – Bumrah bowling a second early on.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: THERE'S A KEY WICKET FOR MI! Allen had started with a couple of square drives for four, but this one holds up just a bit as Allen tries to go again. Similar to the SKY wicket, chops on, and MI have an opening!

Deepak Chahar pretends to unfurl a chit from his pocket – wonder what his teammate Raghu thinks about that one!

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Another wicket late for Tyagi as Chahar carves it straight to deep point.

Corbin Bosch scores 32*(18) and finishes as top scorer. Terrific late cameo from him. But all about Narine today – 16 dot balls in his 4-over spell.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Last over and just what MI needed! Bosch has hung around and is trying to capitalise now. Goes hard, swings hard, and picks up two big sixes – before a top edge for four more!

144/7 with three balls to play, brief physio check…

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: On a pitch like this, that is the last thing you want! Will Jacks was the one player who could get MI to something defendable, and he too falls after a misjudgement in running! Tries to roar back for the second but he's too late – Varun just nicks the bails off in time!

105/7 now – KKR dominating!

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Sunil Narine has been unplayable today! Quick and on the stumps, Hardik too late coming down on it – Narine has deserved that wicket as the bails go flying!

95/6 now – what can MI do?

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Not an innings Tilak Varma will be happy with at all. Couldn't read the spin, much less get scoring shots off it. Slow, very slow going for him, and it's actually the pace of Kartik Tyagi that forces the error – good switch from Rahane. Short into Tilak, can't get the power on it towards the longer boundary. Hit well, but finds the man on the fence.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: MI were going nowhere so this is a crucial blow from Tilak's bat, who himself was going nowhere! GOes for the slog sweep and that's one of the few shots you have against Narine in this mood. Clears the boundary with ease – but in an island of three dot balls.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Oh no! KKR's fielding has been spotless all tournament, but this is a mark against it – sliced straight into the air, should be a simple one for Varun, but Angkrish Raghuvanshi comes charging all the way from the other end of the pitch and tries to put in the dive. Crashes into Varun, who can't cling on after the contact! Was always the bowler's catch.

Tilak struggling mightily, but he has a reprieve.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Here we go again. Tilak and Hardik into the lion's den of the spin twins right after the break. KKR will like their chances at a fifth wicket now.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: So 10 minutes away from the restart. Hardika nd Tilak both on 7*, score on 57/4 after 8.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: All the covers off, and the KKR fielders and bowlers back on field to do some warm-ups. Still no resumption time but shouldn't be too far away now.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: It's a pretty scary visual – every inch of the hallowed Eden Gardens turf under the white tarp. Players and staff are out though, so might be that the rain has eased up. And as we type, the block weighing down the covers being taken off, which will mean the covers will soon follow.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: There was rain on the forecast and here it comes with a vengeance! Groundstaff run in with the covers, and it's looking decently heavy at the moment. Some time for MI to rethink things.

KKR vs MI LIVE Score: Sunil Narine finding plenty of purchase off this surface – Tilak Varma struggling against him. Ball moving both ways – KKR have an excellent surface for their bowlers.
