The Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the Lucknow Super Giants in Match 15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the iconic Eden Gardens. The hosts will be eager to turn their campaign around after a disappointing start to the season.
Led by Ajinkya Rahane, KKR have struggled in the early stages of IPL 2026, currently sitting in eighth place with just one point from three matches. Their campaign began with back-to-back defeats against Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, followed by a rain-abandoned clash against Punjab Kings.
With pressure already mounting, the Knight Riders will be keen to register their first win and gain some much-needed momentum. On the other hand, the Lucknow Super Giants will look to capitalise on KKR’s struggles and continue their push up the points table.
Here’s KKR’s predicted Playing XI vs LSG in Match 15, IPL 2026
Top-order: Ajinkya Rahane (C), , Cameron Green
After a flying start at the Wankhede Stadium against Mumbai Indians, all has gone wrong for the KKR top-order. Led by Ajinkya Rahane, the KKR batting order can dismantle any bowling attack on a given day, but at the moment it is struggling for consistency.
After opting to bat first against Punjab Kings, KKR found themselves on 25/2 in 3.4 overs when the ball was swinging. They will be under pressure to deliver against LSG. Both Rahane and Allen have got starts, whereas Green has yet to deliver anything significant.
