KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - IPL 2026, Match 28

The home side, KKR, will be up against the Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens. Kolkata Knight Riders come into this match under pressure after another disappointing result, their latest being a five-wicket loss to the Gujarat Titans. Batting first, KKR put up a total close to 180, but their innings never really gained control as wickets kept falling at key moments.

Their bowlers then found it difficult to defend the score, as Gujarat chased it down in the last over. KKR also struggled in the field, missing chances and allowing the game to slip away, which has added to their growing list of concerns this season.

The Rajasthan Royals are also coming off a defeat, having lost heavily to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chasing a big target, RR’s batting lineup collapsed in the power play and kept losing wickets quickly. The main damage was done by SRH’s young pacers, Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, who picked up four wickets each and completely broke the backbone of RR’s batting. Even though Rajasthan have a strong top order, they were unable to build partnerships, leading to a one-sided defeat by 57 runs.
