KKR vs LSG Live Score: Rain May Play Spoilsport Again
Rain had disrupted KKR’s previous match, and there is a possibility of rain in Kolkata on Thursday as well. Kolkata has been experiencing continuous rainfall over the past three days due to the formation of a low-pressure area extending from the Gangetic plains of West Bengal all the way to the Gulf of Mannar. However, since the match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM, it is unlikely to be significantly affected.
06:18 PM, 09-Apr-2026
KKR vs LSG Live Score: Lucknow is brimming with confidence
As far as LSG is concerned, the team will be brimming with confidence following their victory in the previous match. Their captain, Rishabh Pant, scored an unbeaten 68 runs in the last game while batting at number three, and he will leave no stone unturned to maintain this form. Apart from Pant, LSG’s top three also feature Australian captain Mitchell Marsh and South Africa’s Aiden Markram. They will look to dominate the KKR bowlers right from the start.
06:18 PM, 09-Apr-2026
KKR vs LSG Live Score: Changes in the top order?
So far, KKR has experimented with the opening pair of Ajinkya Rahane and Finn Allen, a combination that has failed to yield the expected results. For this match, they might opt to try the New Zealand duo of Allen and Tim Seifert. Another New Zealand player, Rachin Ravindra, is also a contender for a spot in the middle order. This would also provide KKR with an additional spin bowling option.
06:01 PM, 09-Apr-2026
KKR vs LSG Live Score: Green set to bowl
There is more good news for the KKR franchise: Cameron Green is likely to resume bowling in the upcoming match against Lucknow. Until now, the all-rounder had been kept away from bowling due to workload management protocols—coordinated in conjunction with Cricket Australia (CA)—although he had been bowling regularly during training sessions.

KKR vs LSG Live Score: Narine fit; Varun’s participation doubtful
KKR has received a major boost ahead of the 15th match of IPL 2026 against Lucknow. Sunil Narine has fully recovered from his illness. However, Varun Chakravarthy’s participation remains uncertain due to a finger injury. Sunil Narine’s return is expected to significantly bolster KKR’s bowling unit, which struggled during their previous match against Punjab Kings. However, it remains to be seen whether the team management selects Narine or if Rachin Ravindra is given an opportunity in his place—a player capable of making an impact with both bat and ball.
