Kolkata Knight Riders finally got their first win in the IPL 2026 season. Kolkata defeated Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets on the basis of Varun Chakraborty's lethal bowling and Rinku Singh's excellent half-century innings. In this way, Ajinkya Rahane's team opened its account of victory after 5 defeats in 7 matches.

Once again Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal made a strong start for Rajasthan Royals and made an excellent partnership of 81 runs. However, this time this partnership was not as explosive as the other matches and one reason for this was the steady batting of Vaibhav, who scored 46 runs in 28 balls. But Varun Chakraborty broke this partnership by dismissing Vaibhav and after this Kolkata made a comeback.

Spinner Varun, who was dropped from the team due to poor form, bowled brilliantly and took 3 out of the top 4 wickets of Rajasthan by giving just 14 runs in 4 overs. Karthik Tyagi and Sunil Narine also played a big role in restricting Rajasthan to just 155 runs by bowling very tightly.
