KKR vs. SRH IPL Match 15 - when and where to watch, venue, most likely playing XIs, full squad details, Pitch Report, Weather and more
KKR, which is being led by AjinkyaRahane, suffered a disappointing seven-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season opener. They bounced back well in their next against the Rajasthan Royals, courtesy of Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 97. However, their last game against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians witnessed the visitors suffering a batting collapse and getting bundled out for a mere 116, which the home team chased down with ease.
Similarly, SRH too has had a start-stop season so far. They had a brilliant opening game against the Royals, smashing 286 runs and winning the game by 44 runs. However, following that, their results have gone south as they lost both of their previous two games to Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals, respectively.

Pitch report
Eden Gardens has produced some of the flattest surfaces it has ever seen in the IPL. This game is again expected to be a run-fest, considering the power-hitting batters present in both teams. The track has something for pacers early on when the ball swings, but later as the match progresses, spinners come in handy. The wicket for the game on Thursday is also expected to be a similar batting paradise, and the bowlers will have to toil hard for success. The team that wins the toss will opt to bowl first.
