High stakes and big hits await fans at Eden Gardens on Sunday

KKR gave us a glimpse of their best in the last match against Delhi Capitals. Rinku Singh and Andre Russell found their touch again, and Sunil Narine was back to his best in terms of wicket-taking. But consistency has been their biggest problem, and they will need Venkatesh Iyer and others to deliver if they are to make a serious playoff push.

For RR, now out, pride and planning for the future take center stage. Young guns such as Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal have burst onto the scene in moments, but the team has been unable to carry the momentum through. With Sanju Samson and Sandeep Sharma being rested, this is an opportunity for young players to make a claim for IPL 2026.

With big-stakes cricket on the pitch and the crowd-pleasing Super Sixes Challenge back off it, Sunday's game at Eden Gardens is set to be a thrilling spectacle. For spectators, it's an opportunity to see not only the heroes on the pitch  but perhaps even become one themselves, at least for a few adrenaline-fueled swings of the bat.
