If you follow the IPL, KKR is one of the loudest, most colorful teams to watch. Two-time champions (2012, 2014), KKR plays at Eden Gardens in Kolkata and brings a mix of power hitters, crafty spinners and all-rounders who change games in a few overs. This page collects the latest KKR updates, match info and fan tips so you can stay on top of every game.

Quick news & match updates

Want fast updates? Look here first for match previews, injury news and score recaps. We post short, clear updates after every match so you know who scored, who struggled and which players could be fantasy picks next game. Check match timings, opponent, and venue—pitch and weather can change how KKR sets the lineup. If a key bowler is injured or a youngster breaks into the XI, that’s the kind of update you’ll find here.

Tip: before placing a bet or setting a fantasy team, check the starting XI and any last-minute changes. KKR often tweaks their playing eleven based on pitch conditions at Eden Gardens or away venues, and that affects who bowls at the death or who bats up the order.

How to follow KKR and matchday tips

Want to watch live? Use your local IPL broadcaster or the official streaming partner in your region. For fans in Kolkata, matchday at Eden Gardens is a special vibe—get to the stadium early for shorter lines and better seats. Bring a light rain jacket if the forecast shows showers; Kolkata weather can flip fast.

Planning to attend a match: buy tickets from official outlets, not third-party resellers. Public transport around Eden Gardens fills up quickly on game days—book trains or rides early and allow extra time. If you're bringing kids, check family zones and the stadium’s safety rules first.

Fantasy and betting tips that work for KKR: prioritize all-rounders who bat in the top six and bowl overs, and look at matchups—for example, which opposition batsmen struggle against left-arm spin or fast pace in the death overs. Pick one consistent opener and mix in a big-hitter or two who can change an innings in 10 balls.

For regular fans: follow official KKR social channels for behind-the-scenes clips, team announcements and pressers. We also publish short match reports, player form trackers and tactical breakdowns so you can understand why a coach made certain changes.
