After winning their first three games of the season, the Shreyas Iyer-led side registered their first loss of the season in their last game against the defending champions, Chennai Super Kings. With a well-balanced squad, KKR is well-equipped to take on LSG, especially in their home conditions.
On the other hand, LSG is currently fourth on the points table. In five games played so far the KL Rahul-led side has managed to win three games. In their last game against Delhi Capitals, they experienced a batting collapse and lost the game by six wickets. With the upcoming match, the visitors will be looking to challenge KKR at their home ground.

Pitch report
The Eden Gardens pitch is known for its balanced nature, providing support for both the batters and bowlers alike. Early in the match, the pitch is expected to offer seam movement and swing, giving the fast bowlers an advantage. However, as the game progresses, the pitch is likely to become more batting-friendly, providing more opportunities for the batters to score runs. Spinners may also get some assistance from the surface, though this may be limited, especially since it is the first match of the season, when the pitch conditions may not fully favour spin bowling.
