Destiny finally smiled at KKR, who secured a four-wicket win over RR from the jaws of defeat at Kolkata on Sunday.

KKR registered a thrilling four-wicket win over RR in their IPL 2026 clash in Kolkata, chasing down 156 with Rinku Singh playing a match-winning knock.

Walking in with the chase hanging in the balance, Rinku Singh combined composure with controlled aggression to see the game through, even as emotions ran high.

Vice-captain Rinku Singh lived up to expectations with a composed unbeaten 53 as Kolkata Knight Riders survived anxious moments to script their first win of IPL 2026 with a four-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals, in Kolkata on Sunday.

Rinku Singh, who was dropped on 8 by Nandre Burger, then steadied the chase, sharing a decisive 76-run stand off 37 balls with Anukul Roy (29) to guide KKR home with two balls to spare.

A bruised Rajasthan Royals will look to bounce back strongly and deepen the misery of a floundering Kolkata Knight Riders when the two sides with contrasting fortunes clash in an afternoon IPL fixture in Kolkata on Sunday.
