KKR vs SRH LIVE Score, IPL 2026: After winning the toss, KKR captain Rahane said, "We are going to bowl first. There is always room for improvement but there were a lot of positives. We don't generally don't see so much of grass, rain around and that's why we wanted to bowl first. Not sure with the dew as there's a breeze going around. It should be good for 40 overs. He is doing everything he needs to do. He should bowl soon. Going with the same team."

Meanwhile, SRH skipper Kishan said, "We would have bowled first. But batting first, we have to see the ball and play accordingly. We have to come up with the best game for us. You have to go out and do the basics right. Only one point I would say is execution, we need to calm even if we are not in a very good situation. We will look to keep it simple in this game. I don't know yet, but he should be ready soon, he makes a big difference, with the bat as well. We have one change - Shivang comes in, keeping the wicket-taking options open, he has bowled well in the nets and we are giving him an opportunity."

KKR vs SRH LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Ahead of the match, KKR head coach Abhishek Nayar said, "We have a bunch of talented cricketers who are lesser experienced, but are very talented cricketers. So it's not a weak bowling attack, it's a less experienced bowling attack. I feel with the kind of coaches we have in DJ [Dwayne Bravo] and Tim [Southee], you want to try and utilise this little time to equip them with whatever they feel can better overcome situations and back them. I think that is something that we need to do critically, but we're trying as much as we can to give them that experience through the brains that we have in the support group."
