IPL 2026 Eden Gardens pitch report: Batting and bowling records, average scores and chances of dew in Kolkata

Kolkata Knight Riders will host Gujarat Titans at their home, Eden Gardens, in Kolkata on Saturday, May 16.

KKR’s season has been far from ideal, suffering six defeats out of the 11 matches they have played, while one game against PBKS was washed out.

Shambolic starts have left the three-time champions struggling on the points table and one more loss is likely to end their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs.

Their opponents, RR, too are desperate for a win to remain afloat in the playoff race.
