In the last league match from IPL 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane has decided to bowl first after winning the toss. Delhi Capitals will come out to bat first in the Eden Gardens ground. Delhi has made two changes in its playing eleven. Although Delhi is already out of the playoff race, KKR still has hope. If Rajasthan loses its last league match, then KKR will have to win this match in 12.1 overs to qualify for the playoffs.

After the toss, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane said, “We will bowl first. It is very simple. We know what will happen based on what happened in the previous innings, what is happening now, but despite that, we do not know what the result will be. The wicket also looks very good. So yes, it is very simple. There is still a game of cricket left, and the last six matches have been great for us. We still want to compete and want to win this match. As I said, whenever you play cricket, you always try to win, especially because it takes courage, determination and positive attitude to come back from the situation we were in. IPL is a fun tournament with 24-25 players, to keep that spirit going every time. Is.”

After the toss, Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel said, “We would have liked to bowl first. We will see how we can improve next season. I don’t think we played bad cricket, but we could not capitalize on the opportunities which could have changed the outcome of the match. We have to learn these things and move forward. We have made two changes in the team today.”
