Story ProgressBack to home

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Cameron Green struck twice in the same over to give KKR a strong start in their IPL 2026 clash against MI at Eden Gardens. Green dismissed Ryan Rickelton and Naman Dhir in the space of four balls to put KKR in dreamland. MI are three wickets down inside the Powerplay. KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and opted to bowl against MI. The three-time champions are still in the race for the playoffs, but they will also need other results to go in their favour.
