KKR keep playoff hopes alive with crucial win

The historic night became even more special for KKR as they registered a crucial 29-run victory over Gujarat Titans to keep their IPL 2026 playoff hopes alive.

With five wins and 11 points from 13 matches, KKR climbed to seventh place in the IPL 2026 points table. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side can now reach a maximum of 15 points and must win their remaining two matches by significant margins while also depending on other results to go in their favour. However, KKR can no longer finish in the top two.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans missed a golden opportunity to move to the top of the table. Led by Shubman Gill, GT remain on 16 points with eight wins, behind table-toppers RCB due to an inferior net run rate.

Sunrisers Hyderabad currently occupy the third spot with 14 points, while Punjab Kings sit fourth in the standings.
