Cameron Green set to make his bowling return during KKR vs LSG clash in Kolkata

After a frustrating washout in their previous outing, Kolkata Knight Riders return to the Eden Gardens hoping for uninterrupted action as they take on Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026. However, with recent weather patterns in Kolkata, the big question remains: is another washout on the cards?

KKR’s last fixture against Punjab Kings was abandoned without a ball being bowled after persistent rain lashed the city. That result helped the Ajinkya Rahane-led side open their account with a point, but it also extended their wait for a first win this season. With early momentum missing, the team will be keen to finally get their campaign up and running.

The build-up to this clash has not been entirely smooth either. The city experienced intense showers and dark clouds earlier in the day, prompting a yellow alert for thunderstorms. On the eve of the match, groundstaff at the Eden Gardens were kept busy following incessant rain, working extensively to ensure the outfield and pitch were match-ready.
