Kolkata, April 8: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Kolkata on Thursday, March 9 amid rain threats. The city has been witnessing continuous rain, thunderstorms and strong winds over the past two days. The current conditions have raised concerns over the match which is likely to hit the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata.

Rain Already Impacted KKR This Season

The rain has already affected KKR as their match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) was abandoned due to wet outfield. This helped them get their first point of the IPL 2026 season. This came after the team had lost two matches in a row, so the abandoned game at least gave them some relief on the points table.
