LSG vs KKR LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Second half of Super Sunday takes us back to the foot of the IPL 2026 table. It has been a campaign to forget for KKR and LSG alike thus far – Kolkata finally got their first win as they benefitted from a dropped catch to get over the line against RR, while after a winning start, LSG have dropped like a stone with four consecutive losses in their recent matches....Read More

At 9th and 10th in the table, the two teams have had campaigns to forget thus far. They are a far ways off from the playoff picture – and most would argue that they are already out of the running, with the quality of teams at the top of the table. But one thing the IPL continues to prove is that it's never too late while a mathematical possibility exists.

Nevertheless, a massive effort will be needed from the two teams to find the motivation and the consistency in performances. All of that will start as the teams get their campaigns started at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. KKR are coming in after a solid break, a week off after their first win, in which they team can take the momentum from a result and find real clarity in terms of what the team needs to achieve.

For LSG, the four match losing skid is certainly a massive concern. The players they have in their unit are not delivering to their potential, but there are still bright sparks – particularly in the bowling, where Mohammed Shami and Prince Yadav have been in top form, and ensured that they have a semblance of competitiveness.

This match provides a chance for LSG to join the teams on six points and at least be within swinging distance, while for KKR, getting a win is already non-negotiable.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: LSG score 37/1 off powerplay

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Not fast going, but Pant and Markram ensuring they get set. If they have batting in hand they will chase this down – so chipping away at the target is their key at the moment.

119 needed off 84.

Apr 26, 2026 9:48:10 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Rishabh Pant! More of the please

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: That's what he is all about! Dances down the track and hammers Cam Green over long on! Fast hands and great momentum through the ball to pick up the first six of the innings. Great batting!

Apr 26, 2026 9:41:58 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: STUNNING CATCH! Marsh gone early

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Rovman Powell! Recovers so well – it's sent high into the air and Powell doesn't read it well, but tracks it, and reacts so well to pivot and grab it with two hands to send Mitchell Marsh back!

He's hurt himself – a lot of injuries with fielders hitting the ground hard in the last couple of days. Hopefully he recovers well.

KKR are well and truly in this.

Apr 26, 2026 9:36:24 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Marsh and Markram step out to open for LSG

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Mitch Marsh and Aiden Markram coming in to open for LSG, who keep chopping and changing – back to what should nominally work the best. Spin early on to target their weakness.

Apr 26, 2026 9:22:10 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 155/7 – Rinky finishes on 83*(51)

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: What a crucial knock right at the death from Rinku Singh. Without him, they were probably looking at 110-120. His single-handed effort gives the bowling unit something to bowl at in the second innings.

Apr 26, 2026 9:17:52 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: SIX MORE AND SIX AGAIN! What an innings from Rinku

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: AND AGAIN! Walks across, gets all of that one, no doubt about it to clear mid-on again!

Next ball Digvesh overpitches to provide a full-toss, and he has gotten all of that again! Four sixes in a row! Can he repeat and get five once again?

Apr 26, 2026 9:16:36 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 6, 6! Rinku punches back at LSG

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Much needed! Rinku Singh gets the better of Digvesh a couple of time s-- first just clears long on, then clears the extra cover fielder who is fielding a few metres in from the boundary to prevent the two to the longer side!

Apr 26, 2026 9:10:46 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 6, 4, 4 – Rinku reaches fifty!

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Much needed little flurry of boundaries from Rinku Singh! Keeps finding himself in situation where he needs to reconstruct, but he has been doing it well. Goes after the bowling of Shami to take KKR to 129/7 with an over left to play. Can Rinku get 15-20?

Apr 26, 2026 8:58:48 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 100/7 with 4 overs to play

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: KKR's innings going nowhere. Rinku Singh needs to explode late on.

Apr 26, 2026 8:51:26 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Regular wickets! Ramandeep holes out

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Just ot enough power on it! Ramandeep tries to clear long on against the turn of Linde, and never has enough pop behind it. Comfortable catch for Marsh in the deep.

93/7 now. Five overs to play.

Apr 26, 2026 8:48:00 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 4, 4! Rinku gets a move on

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Rinku Singh accelerates – first boundaries in 3 overs. Gets width from Digvesh and plays a couple of terrific aerial cover drives to pick up fours.

91/6 with 6 overs to play – they will want 150 from here.

Apr 26, 2026 8:32:10 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: FIVE-FER FOR MOHSIN KHAN! WHAT A PERFORMANCE

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Last ball of his spell and he has a fifth wicket! Another soft one as Anukul Roy clips it straight to midwicket inside the ring – but Mohsin has deserved this. He has come roaring back to make his re-introduction to the IPL, and this 5-fer has been him at his absolute best! Some performance, and KKR are in huge trouble at 73/6.

Apr 26, 2026 8:29:56 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GREEN GONE! Four for Mohsin

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Spoke too soon! Once too often from the big Australian – and maybe he should have looked for less risky boundary options against LSG's best bowler on the night. Ugly hoick across the line, slower one outfoxes him, sliced straight up for Pant to take very easily.

Apr 26, 2026 8:27:04 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Six more! Green keeps motoring

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Good from Green. Goes after Mohsin. KKR need to get a move on with their best batting pair at the crease. They still have batting to come.

Next ball he goes again, and gets lucky as it lands in no man's land.

Apr 26, 2026 8:20:07 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 6, 6! Green counterpunches

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Much needed for KKR. Cam Green targets George Linde. First one is realtively full so he hammers it down the ground. Next ball, reads the over-correction, rocks back onto his back foot and clears midwicket with ease.

59/4 after 9 overs.

Apr 26, 2026 8:08:47 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: BAD TO WORSE! Mohsin's third, Powell falls

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another wicket! KKR crumbling. Dug in short by Mohsin, Powell tries to hook, but catches just a little bit of glove and easily taken by Pant.

Mohsin has been terrific tonight, some performance from him thus far. KKR 31/4, in huge trouble.

Apr 26, 2026 8:05:11 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: PRINCE YADAV MISSES A RUN-OUT FROM TWO FEET!

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Not a second to breathe at the moment! Powell knocks it to midwicket and Green sets off – never a run there, and he's sent back. Prince Yadav has all the time in the world to run up and get an easy throw off, but he misses from point blank range! And to make matters worse, he is having some words with bowler Rathi – but that's not on anybody except himself.

Apr 26, 2026 8:02:53 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: RAGHUVANSHI GIVEN OUT FOR OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD!

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: What's going on here! Innocuous end to the fifth over as a run-out misses the stumps, but it's a lengthy review. According to the third umpire, Raghuvanshi has changed direction knowingly in order to block the ball – but that's very harsh! You really can't say he's done that even as the ball hits him.

Given out, and he's enraged. Demolishes a boundary cushion on the way out, and Abhishek Nayar is having his choice of words with the fourth official.

Apr 26, 2026 7:50:54 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another for Mohsin! Rahane gone

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Miscued into the air – Rahane can't clear the infield, Aiden Markram takes an easy catch, and Mohsin Khan has another!

KKR simply not getting enough shots away. Rahane perishes, Mohsin Khan has been in great form.

Apr 26, 2026 7:47:15 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: First six! Rahane connects

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Better from Rahane! Was on 2*(10) but that's an improvement. Lively pickup shot that he picks the bones out of to send towering over midwicket. Much more of that needed.

Apr 26, 2026 7:44:21 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GOT HIM! Seifert chips it straight to cover

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Soft wicket! Seifert finally gets some width from Mohsin but his feet go nowhere. It's a waft at the ball, off the toe-end, and floats to cover inside the ring.

3/1 in 2 overs – KKR looking stuck!

Apr 26, 2026 6:44:20 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Should LSG pull the trigger on Nicholas Pooran?

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: He was the most destructive batter in IPL 2025, but has arguably been IPL 2026's worst. Hardly any runs, at a strike rate of 82 – a player of Pooran's pedigree, that is scarcely believable.

LSG have options – Matthew Breetzke is a bank of runs in the white ball formats, and could come in. But LSG's problems run so deep with the bat that unless Breetzke truly explodes, it won't feel like much of an upgrade.

Apr 26, 2026 6:26:42 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Just over half an hour to the toss

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Little over thirty minutes until the toss at the Ekana Stadium. It has been amongst the more bowling-friendly surfaces this season, and teams will be hesitant to bat first knowing that they could be behind the 8-ball early. With spin and a slight two-paced nature, it should also be a ground where players like Varun and Narine enjoy themselves.

Apr 26, 2026 6:08:14 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Prince Yadav leads impressive LSG pace unit

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: There is a lot to discuss with regards to what is going wrong for these two teams, but it's worth considering what is going right as well. For LSG, the strength this season has been the fast bowling, in particular Prince Yadav having a breakthrough year. With Mohammed Shami also looking like his usual dangerous self and Mohsin Khan chipping in with some good performances, the desire will be to see Mayank Yadav back at his best, after the express seamer had a poor return to action in LSG's previous game.

Apr 26, 2026 5:50:42 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: KKR still have combination problems – but Pathirana is here

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: KKR's issue has been a struggle to find balance in their team, always leaving some gap in their team that has emerged as a weakness and subsequently been targeted by their opposition. With a lack of fast bowling quality proving devastating, KKR do have a boost as they travel to Lucknow – Matheesha Pathirana joins the team, and brings a little bit of X-factor to the game.

Apr 26, 2026 5:31:20 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Rishabh Pant the big question mark still

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Now a year and a half into his tenure as LSG captain, Rishabh Pant hasn't pieced it together – whether as captain, but particularly as a batter. He has shuffled up and down the batting and struggled massively for any sort of success in scoring runs. Now with calls for him to move back down the batting order again, another shuffle could be in store – potentially allowing Nicholas Pooran to bat where he had such success last year.

Apr 26, 2026 5:15:56 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Mukul Choudhary announces himself in the reverse fixture

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: The first time these teams met in this season, it looked as if KKR would get a win with LSG running out of batters and needing close to 50 in the last three overs. But that was the match where Mukul Choudhary, a young man from Rajasthan with big faith from Justin Langer, announced himself. A remarkable array of sixes and a clutch gene right at the end, hammering a cover drive for six to give LSG the result – one of the IPL's most memorable knocks.

Apr 26, 2026 5:01:10 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Is the season already finished for both teams?

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: The table doesn't make for pretty reading, that much is for sure. KKR finally earned a win but that took them only to three points, still in last place at the halfway point of the season. Their performances have been regularly subpar. LSG, meanwhile, had a decent start with two wins in their first three matches – but have since lost four games in a row, their batting looking like a shell of the quality it should be at. Both teams have lacked in particular areas, and also gotten tactical calls wrong. At the halfway stage, the playoff teams already have ten points – catching up will require something truly spectacular from here.

Apr 26, 2026 4:30:41 PM IST

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: HELLO AND WELCOME!

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: It might be 9th vs 10th, but doesn't mean it will be bereft of drama. The Ekana Stadium prepares to host a cracking contest.
