Share your love
The KKR vs SRH head-to-head record in IPL is one of the most lopsided rivalries in the tournament. In 30 total IPL meetings, Kolkata Knight Riders dominate with a commanding 20-10 lead. KKR beat SRH in the 2024 IPL final, bowling them out for their lowest-ever final total of 113. Here’s the complete breakdown ahead of their IPL 2026 clash at Eden Gardens.
KKR vs SRH — Overall IPL Head-to-Head Record
- Total Matches Played: 30
- Kolkata Knight Riders Wins: 20
- Sunrisers Hyderabad Wins: 10
- No Result/Tie: 1 (Super Over in 2020, won by KKR)
KKR’s dominance is overwhelming — they’ve won twice as many matches as SRH. The 2024 season was particularly brutal: KKR swept SRH 3-0 including the qualifier and final, with SRH being bowled out for 113 in the title decider. In the last 5 meetings, KKR lead 4-1. SRH’s lone win came in May 2025 when they scored 278/3 — the highest total in this rivalry — in an inconsequential group game.
KKR vs SRH — Last 5 IPL Matches
| Date | Venue | Winner | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 25, 2025 | Delhi (Neutral) | SRH | 110 runs |
| Apr 3, 2025 | Kolkata | KKR | 80 runs |
| May 24, 2024 | Chennai (Final) | KKR | 8 wickets |
| May 21, 2024 | Ahmedabad (Q1) | KKR | 8 wickets |
| Apr 18, 2024 | Kolkata | KKR | 80 runs |
The pattern is clear: when these teams meet at Eden Gardens, KKR dominate comprehensively. Both 80-run victories came in Kolkata. SRH’s only recent win came at a neutral venue (Delhi) in an inconsequential game where they unleashed an extraordinary 278/3. In matches that matter, KKR have SRH’s number.
KKR vs SRH at Eden Gardens (Today’s Venue)
At Eden Gardens, KKR’s dominance is even more pronounced. In 11 meetings at this venue, KKR lead 8-3. SRH have won just 3 times in Kolkata across their entire IPL history against KKR. The spinners — Narine and Varun Chakravarthy — have been the difference. Narine averages 24.10 against SRH at this venue with 10 wickets; his economy of 6.17 is exceptional for T20 cricket.
SRH’s aggressive batting approach often backfires against quality spin at Eden Gardens. The pitch grips and turns, and their expansive shots become risky. Tonight’s clash will test whether SRH have learned from past failures.
Top Performers in KKR vs SRH IPL Matches
Most Runs
- David Warner: 619 runs in 24 matches (Avg: 29.47, SR: 144.73) — no longer in IPL
- Nitish Rana: 492 runs in 18 matches (Avg: 30.75, SR: 141.38) — no longer with KKR
- Manish Pandey: 438 runs in 22 matches (Avg: 27.37, SR: 126.01) — with KKR
Warner dominated this fixture for years, but he’s no longer in IPL. For current players, Heinrich Klaasen (105* is the second-highest individual score in this fixture) and Travis Head are SRH’s best hopes. KKR rely on Rinku Singh and Rahane’s experience.
Most Wickets
- Andre Russell: 25 wickets in 22 matches (Avg: 26.16, Econ: 9.10) — retired
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar: 24 wickets in 24 matches (Avg: 27.79, Econ: 7.42) — no longer with SRH
- Sunil Narine: 17 wickets in 27 matches (Avg: 41.17, Econ: 6.73) — still with KKR
Narine is the only top wicket-taker still active in this fixture. His mystery spin has troubled SRH’s aggressive batters throughout the rivalry. With Russell retired and Bhuvneshwar gone, Narine’s role becomes even more pivotal.
Memorable Matches in KKR vs SRH IPL History
May 24, 2024 — IPL Final (KKR won by 8 wickets): The most one-sided final in IPL history. KKR restricted SRH to 113 all out — their lowest total in an IPL final. Varun Chakravarthy and Mitchell Starc dismantled SRH’s batting. KKR chased down the target in 10.3 overs, with Venkatesh Iyer smashing an unbeaten 52. This match broke SRH’s spirit after a dominant league phase.
May 25, 2025 — SRH scored 278/3: SRH’s revenge came spectacularly. Travis Head (89 off 37) and Heinrich Klaasen (105* off 44) unleashed carnage at Arun Jaitley Stadium. SRH posted 278/3 — the highest total in this rivalry and one of the highest in IPL history. KKR were bowled out for 168. This match showed SRH’s ceiling when their batting clicks.
What the Head-to-Head Record Means for Today’s Match
History heavily favours KKR — 20-10 overall, 8-3 at Eden Gardens. But context matters. KKR’s dominance was built on Andre Russell’s all-round brilliance, which they no longer have. SRH showed in the 278-run game that they can destroy any bowling attack when set.
The key question: can SRH’s aggressive batting survive KKR’s spin at Eden Gardens? Historically, the answer has been no. Narine and Varun have contained SRH’s power hitters in the middle overs, forcing them into errors. Without Pat Cummins to lead their bowling, SRH need their batters to score 220+ to feel safe.
KKR’s home advantage and spin weapons make them favourites, but their weak pace bowling leaves a door open. If SRH’s top order (Head, Abhishek, Kishan) survives the spin threat, they have the firepower to post a match-winning total. This fixture always delivers drama.
