LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Varun Chakravarthy celebrates a wicket with his teammates.
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Second half of Super Sunday takes us back to the foot of the IPL 2026 table. It has been a campaign to forget for KKR and LSG alike thus far – Kolkata finally got their first win as they benefitted from a dropped catch to get over the line against RR, while after a winning start, LSG have dropped like a stone with four consecutive losses in their recent matches.
At 9th and 10th in the table, the two teams have had campaigns to forget thus far. They are a far ways off from the playoff picture – and most would argue that they are already out of the running, with the quality of teams at the top of the table. But one thing the IPL continues to prove is that it’s never too late while a mathematical possibility exists.
Nevertheless, a massive effort will be needed from the two teams to find the motivation and the consistency in performances. All of that will start as the teams get their campaigns started at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. KKR are coming in after a solid break, a week off after their first win, in which they team can take the momentum from a result and find real clarity in terms of what the team needs to achieve.
For LSG, the four match losing skid is certainly a massive concern. The players they have in their unit are not delivering to their potential, but there are still bright sparks – particularly in the bowling, where Mohammed Shami and Prince Yadav have been in top form, and ensured that they have a semblance of competitiveness.
This match provides a chance for LSG to join the teams on six points and at least be within swinging distance, while for KKR, getting a win is already non-negotiable.

LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: RINKU SINGH WINS IT! What a performance
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Easily done! Carved away for four and that’s that. Rinku Singh deserved this – but it has taken a bonkers match to get to this point.
With that, as Rinku finds four, KKR vault over LSG and Mumbai, and head up to eighth in the table. Dizzying heights for the Knights!
Apr 26, 2026 11:42:18 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: LSG CAN ONLY SCORE 1 IN THE SUPER OVER!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: CAN’T GET ENOUGH! Markram finds Rovman in the deep, who collects easily and for laughs and giggles lobs it over to Rinku Singh for his FIFTH catch of the match!
2 run chase. Should be all KKR.
Apr 26, 2026 11:39:32 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Here we go – Pooran is bowled first ball!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Sunil Narine has done it again! Remember CPL, where this same matchup in a Super Over left a young Pooran in a crazy bind. Here, it’s a first ball wicket as he tries to slog sweep and misses it all ends up!
Apr 26, 2026 11:36:06 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Scratch that – Narine is taking the over!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Sunil Narine with the ball! Has a famous Super Over performance against Pooran in the past. This should be very interesting!
Apr 26, 2026 11:35:03 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Looks like Kartik Tyagi is getting ready for Super Over
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: He conceded 16 to LSG’s lower order but KKR want to give them the faith again. Let’s wait and see.
For LSG, it’s Pooran and Markram. Tyagi remembers a clutch over against them…
Apr 26, 2026 11:29:16 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: SHAMI TONKS IT! WE ARE GOING TO A SUPER OVER
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: SLOT BALL AND MOHAMMED SHAMI TONKS IT TO KINGDOM COME, AS COOL AS YOU LIKE! Stands his ground and swing through it, clears long off – a dramatic last over, and Mohammed Shami sends it to IPL 2026’s first super over!
Apr 26, 2026 11:27:38 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: SWING AND A MISS! 7 needed off 1
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Shami can’t connect! Now it’s simple – six to go through to a super over, otherwise KKR take the points. Shami rushed by the quicker one, that has to be the ploy again…
Apr 26, 2026 11:26:44 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another bye and Shami gets through! 7 needed off 2
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Mohammed Shami off sprinting with the ball, it’s the right idea. Prince misses, but he makes it to the non-striker’s end on time as well.
What can Shami do…
Apr 26, 2026 11:25:06 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: ANOTHER TWIST! Himmat finds Rinku in the deep
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: ANOTHER FLIP IN THE SCRIPT! Himmat tries to walk across and flip it over fine leg, but gets it too square! Rinku Singh is there and takes the catch!
Himmat Singh can’t get it done! Great knock, 8 needed off 3 balls – what do LSG do?
Apr 26, 2026 11:23:42 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: HIMMAT COLLECTS FOUR! 8 NEEDED OFF 4
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GREAT SHOT FROM HIMMAT SINGH! Expects the slower ball, waits for it, knows where he wants to hit it, and picks the gap!
Down to 8 off 4…
Apr 26, 2026 11:20:23 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: TWO BEAMERS IN AN OVER! Twist in the tale!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another no-ball above the waist for Himmat Singh, who gets it deep enough this time to run two! Another no-ball given – it will be another free-hit!
12 needed off 5… Essentially 5 hit off the first ball!
Apr 26, 2026 11:18:54 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: NO-BALL! BUT NO MORE RUNS OFF IT
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Chest-high full toss from Tyagi, Himmat is mad he can’t get the connection on it to send it for a boundary!
A free run, and a free-hit next, but this could have been much worse. 15 off 5…
Apr 26, 2026 11:18:00 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Bye run, 16 needed off 5

Apr 26, 2026 11:16:22 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 17 NEEDED OFF THE LAST OVER!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Himmat Singh squeezes four away! That’s a good shot but LSG would have wanted to get within 15 – now it’s Shami on strike with 17 to get. He either needs to get six to start the over or turn it over to Himmat Singh as quickly as possible.
Apr 26, 2026 11:14:47 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: SHAMI SWINGS BIG! IMPORTANT FOUR
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: MOHAMMED SHAMI! That nearly flies for six! Right on the cusp of the boundary cushion.

Apr 26, 2026 11:13:17 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: LINDE FALLS! 27 needed off 10
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another twist in the tale! Linde gives himself room but is followed by Arora, and can’t dig it out well enough! Gets it to Rinku at long on but not further – and another wicket!
Apr 26, 2026 11:11:44 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 4, 4! Sloppy fielding helps out Linde!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: KKR can’t keep the ball away from the boundary! It isn’t the most powerful shots from Linde but enough to put pressure on the fielders, and gets four more!
28 needed off 12…
Apr 26, 2026 11:07:46 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: BADONI FALLS! Chakravarthy strikes!
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Another key wicket, massive wicket! It’s there to be hit from Varun, but Badoni somehow manages to pick out the man Anukul Roy at square leg! Either side of him and he gets four!
KKR back up ahead now…
Apr 26, 2026 11:05:21 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: 38 needed off last 3 overs
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Badoni gets away another boundary, but Kartik Tyagi stops the bleeding and ends the over well.
Tight finish coming up. Who would you rather be?
Apr 26, 2026 11:01:25 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: SIX FOR HIMMAT! LSG stay alive
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Big hit to keep LSG in touching distance! Gets width and carves it for six over point.
45 needed off 22 – LSG still in it!
Apr 26, 2026 10:54:03 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: No Mukul showcase this time! Picks out Rinku in the deep
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: He did the unthinkable last time they met, and he needs something close to that again – but doesn’t get it! Has to target the deep leg-side and doesn’t get enough of it – comfortable catch for Rinku in the deep! KKR have their noses ahead.
Apr 26, 2026 10:47:46 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GONEEEE!!! Pooran falls cheaply again
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: It simply doesn’t get better for him! Nicholas Pooran gets a wide one from Chakravarthy, tries to cut it, but it’s a thick edge that slices straight to third man inside the ring!
It’s suddenly 89/4, and 67 needed off 36 – trouble for LSG!
Apr 26, 2026 10:43:55 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Pooran connects for six! Better
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: That one he gets a hold of! Wide of off-stump, but it’s a safe shot with no fielder on the boundary. No fielder was stopping that anyway. Fetches him six – and important one too, will give him a lot of confidence.
Apr 26, 2026 10:39:00 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: GONE! Rishabh Pant falls on 42 trying to accelerate
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: HUGE MOMENT! Rishabh Pant tries to pull ot the reverse sweep but can only get glove on it – sneaks through to Seifert, who makes the grab on his second attempt. Umpire initially unmoved, but it’s a good review – brushes his glove and he’s gone!
78/3 now – the pressure is on! Are KKR ahead now?
Apr 26, 2026 10:35:02 PM IST
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Required rate creeps above 10 – 82 needed from 48
LSG vs KKR LIVE Score: Getting slightly hairy. Pooran not connecting well at all. Pant bears so much of the responsibility over the remainder of this innings, with work to be done.
