IPL 2026 Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium pitch report: Batting and bowling records, average scores and chances of dew in Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad will march into the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium this Sunday, brimming with confidence on the back of a five-match winning streak, when they host Kolkata Knight Riders.

SRH are on a roll at the moment and they would now hope to build on the momentum and make it six wins in a row when they face KKR at home.

Meanwhile, KKR, after a disastrous start, have stitched together two wins on the trot against Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants. 

They are gradually finding their rhythm, and with prominent names like Sunil Narine and Rinku Singh getting back to form, they might stop SRH's juggernaut.
