Two-time champions KKR kickstarted their IPL 2024 campaign with a win over free-scoring Sunrisers Hyderabad at home. Seeking home comfort, the Knight Riders will hope to bounce back at Kolkata after registering their first defeat of the new season. LSG’s away clash will be KKR’s second home game in IPL 2024.
