Kolkata Knight Riders hold a clear lead in the KKR vs SRH head to head: 20 wins against 11 for Sunrisers Hyderabad, plus a 2020 tie, in 32 games that began on 14 Apr 2013.
The latest result went Kolkata’s way too: a 7-wicket win in Hyderabad on 3 May 2026. Sunrisers Hyderabad entered the IPL in 2013, so this record does not include the old Deccan Chargers, a separate franchise.
How Kolkata built the lead
Sunrisers Hyderabad have never won a season series against Kolkata outright apart from 2018, when they took 2 of 3. Every other year has been either shared or won by KKR.
The bigger KKR seasons came in 2014 and 2021, with both games won, and in 2024, when Kolkata won all three meetings. The last of those was the 2024 IPL final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on 26 May 2024, where Sunrisers managed only 113, the smallest total they have posted against KKR, and lost by 8 wickets.
Since then the rivalry has turned into a run of heavy results: an 80-run KKR win in Kolkata on 3 Apr 2025, a 110-run Sunrisers win in Delhi on 25 May 2025, a 65-run Sunrisers win on 2 Apr 2026, again at Eden Gardens, and finally KKR’s 7-wicket success in Hyderabad.
