The 45th match of the Indian Premier League 2026, witnessed an enthralling contest between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, wherein the KKR had an all-round performance to storm into a convincing seven-wicket win. The match had gotten out of their hands, despite an explosive start by the Hyderabad side and excellent bowling from KKR with a middle-order collapse.
The match was a perfect example of the changing fortunes witnessed in a T20 game.
