Heinrich Klaasen’s half-century and an all-round masterclass from Nitish Kumar Reddy powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to a 65-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026 on Thursday. Chasing 227, KKR were bowled out for 161 as Reddy and Jaydev Unadkat spearheaded the attack. Angkrish Raghuvanshi continued his rich vein of form with a brisk 46 before a mix-up with Rinku Singh ended his stay. Earlier, Klaasen slammed 52 off just 35 balls-his second consecutive fifty-to propel SRH to a massive 226/8 after an explosive start

Unadkat takes two in two, and SRH have won at Eden Gardens! They beat KKR by 65 runs to get their campaign up and running. It was a dominant display with both bat and ball, led by Heinrich Klaasen’s fifty and an all-round masterclass from Nitish Kumar Reddy. KKR remain winless after two games.

Another wicket for Malinga! Ramandeep slashes this hard, but straight to backward point. Another catch for Unadkat and SRH are in cruise control.
