SRH vs KKR Head to Head in IPL Record, Key Stats & Results (IPL 2026)

SRH vs KKR Overall IPL Head-to-Head Record

The 20-11 split across 31 matches tells a clear story of KKR’s historical dominance — but the story has serious layers. SRH’s highest total of 278/3 came on May 25, 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, when Heinrich Klaasen smashed an unbeaten 105 off 39 balls and Travis Head added 76, helping SRH win by 110 runs (their biggest margin against KKR). KKR’s highest stands at 208, while their lowest of 101 came in their early years against this opposition. SRH’s lowest of 113 came in the IPL 2024 Final at Chennai, when KKR bowled them out and chased the title in just 10.3 overs — the most painful moment in this rivalry from SRH’s perspective. The April 2, 2026 fixture at Eden Gardens — SRH winning by 65 runs — is the most recent meeting before the next IPL 2026 clash.

SRH vs KKR Recent Match Results

The momentum pattern in this rivalry is fascinating right now. KKR dominated IPL 2024 with three consecutive wins including the Qualifier 1 (8 wickets), the IPL Final (8 wickets, SRH bowled out for 113), and an early-season league win — all by huge margins. SRH bounced back in IPL 2025 with the stunning 110-run thrashing at Delhi (Klaasen’s 105* off 39), although KKR had won the earlier April 2025 fixture at Eden Gardens by 80 runs (bowling SRH out for 120). SRH’s 65-run win at Eden Gardens on April 2, 2026 confirms they’ve now figured out KKR’s bowling unit. Three of the last five meetings have produced 80+ run margins — this is no longer a close-contest rivalry, but a series of dominant displays.

SRH vs KKR Venue-Wise Head-to-Head Breakdown

The most painful insight for SRH in this breakdown is the away record at Eden Gardens — 4 wins from 11 trips against KKR’s 7 home wins. That includes SRH’s breakthrough 65-run win at Eden Gardens on April 2, 2026, which broke a long pattern of struggles at this venue. Hyderabad has been the more even battle at 4-4 across 8 matches, showing that SRH can hold their own at home. Neutral venue matches — including the 2020 UAE bubble seasons and high-profile playoff games — heavily favour KKR at 9-3, with KKR winning all their UAE matches against SRH. For any future SRH vs KKR fixture, recent form (SRH winning 2 of last 3) actually suggests momentum has shifted in SRH’s direction.

Top Run-Scorers in SRH vs KKR Matches

David Warner’s 619 runs across multiple SRH seasons make him the undisputed all-time leader in this fixture — including a stunning 126 against KKR in IPL 2017, the highest individual score in this rivalry. Nitish Rana’s 492 runs come second from his time at both KKR and SRH, while Manish Pandey’s 438 runs span his stints at both franchises. Heinrich Klaasen has surged into the top five recently with his unbeaten 105 off 39 balls in the May 2025 thrashing — the most explosive innings any SRH batter has played against KKR. Andre Russell rounds out the top five with 320+ runs from his powerful KKR finishing role across seasons.

Top Wicket-Takers in SRH vs KKR Matches

Andre Russell leads the wicket charts with 25 scalps — and he’s been KKR’s most impactful all-round performer in this fixture, hitting at SR above 170 with the bat plus delivering crucial death-overs spells. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 24 wickets for SRH come right behind, with his swing at Hyderabad regularly breaking KKR’s top order in the powerplay. Sunil Narine’s 15 wickets at Econ 6.58 stand out — his mystery spin has been the most economical bowling in this entire rivalry. T Natarajan’s 15 wickets came primarily from death-overs yorkers, while Varun Chakravarthy’s 14 scalps confirm KKR’s spin dominance across eras. The most iconic single spell remains Mitchell Starc’s 2/14 in the 2024 IPL Final — a 12.6-over masterclass that earned him Player of the Match.

Highest and Lowest Totals in SRH vs KKR History

The most striking individual fact in this table is the gap between the two highest totals — SRH posting 278/3 in May 2025 (Klaasen 105*, Head 76) is 70 runs higher than KKR’s all-time best of 208 against this opposition. That 278/3 was SRH’s third-highest IPL total ever and produced a 110-run win, the biggest margin in this rivalry. SRH’s lowest of 113 in the IPL 2024 Final at Chennai remains their most painful moment — KKR bowled them out and chased the title in just 10.3 overs, with Mitchell Starc taking 2/14 and Venkatesh Iyer hitting an unbeaten 52. KKR’s lowest of 101 came in their early years against SRH, showing how this rivalry has produced both record-breaking carnage and complete collapses.

Most Memorable Moments in SRH vs KKR Rivalry

The 2024 IPL Final at Chennai: KKR’s 8-wicket thrashing of SRH at Chennai is the most defining moment in this rivalry. SRH were bowled out for just 113 in 18.3 overs — Mitchell Starc took 2/14 in 3 overs to win Player of the Match, and KKR chased the title in only 10.3 overs with Venkatesh Iyer’s 52* sealing it. That match gave KKR their 3rd IPL title and remains SRH’s lowest total in any IPL Final.

SRH’s Record 278/3 at Delhi, 2025: SRH’s biggest dominant display in this rivalry came on May 25, 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Heinrich Klaasen smashed an unbeaten 105 off 39 balls (the highest individual score by any SRH batter against KKR), Travis Head added 76, and SRH posted 278/3. KKR managed only 168 in response — the 110-run defeat is among KKR’s heaviest in IPL history.

David Warner’s 126 vs KKR, 2017: Warner’s 126 runs against KKR in IPL 2017 remains the highest individual score in this entire rivalry. The Australian opener single-handedly dismantled KKR’s bowling unit in one of the most destructive batting performances ever seen in this fixture, cementing his place as the rivalry’s all-time leading run-scorer.

KKR’s Qualifier 1 + Final Double in 2024: KKR’s IPL 2024 dominance over SRH stands as one of the most one-sided playoff sweeps in IPL history. They won Qualifier 1 by 8 wickets at Ahmedabad (May 21), then won the Final by 8 wickets at Chennai (May 26). Both wins came with identical margins, both came chasing, and both confirmed KKR’s third IPL title.

SRH’s 65-Run Eden Gardens Win, April 2, 2026: SRH’s most recent dominant performance came on April 2, 2026 at Eden Gardens. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma blasted SRH to 84/1 in the powerplay, Klaasen scored 52 off 35, and SRH posted 226/8. Jaydev Unadkat (3/21) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (2/17 + 39 with the bat) then bowled KKR out for 161 — Reddy was named Player of the Match.

SRH vs KKR Head-to-Head Match Type Breakdown

The most painful insight for SRH in this breakdown is the neutral venue record — 3 wins from 12 trips, while KKR have won 9. That includes KKR’s perfect record across the UAE bubble seasons (2020-21) and dominant playoff performances. Eden Gardens is firmly KKR territory at 7-4, although SRH’s recent April 2026 win at Eden Gardens snapped a long away struggle. Hyderabad has been the most balanced venue at 4-4 across 8 matches — the only category where SRH have held parity. For any upcoming SRH vs KKR clash, history strongly favours KKR at neutral and Kolkata venues, but recent form has shifted significantly toward SRH after their 2025 and 2026 dominant displays.

IPL 2026 Context — What’s at Stake

Sunrisers Hyderabad come into the IPL 2026 home stretch as one of the tournament’s most explosive sides — they sit comfortably in the top half of the table. Abhishek Sharma leads the IPL 2026 batting charts with 380 runs at SR 212.29 (Orange Cap holder, includes 135*), Heinrich Klaasen has 349 runs at Avg 49.85, Eshan Malinga’s 14 wickets at Econ 9.44 give SRH one of IPL 2026’s most balanced bowling units, and Travis Head provides the explosive opening foil. Their 65-run win over KKR on April 2 confirmed their batting depth and bowling discipline.

Kolkata Knight Riders arrive in deeper concern — they’ve struggled to find consistency through IPL 2026, with Ajinkya Rahane leading from the front (162 runs as captain) and Rinku Singh contributing 215 runs at SR 141.44. Cameron Green’s bowling absence has hurt their balance, and the chase concerns flagged after the April 2 defeat have continued. The srh vs kkr head to head today stands at 20-11 in KKR’s favour heading into the next clash — and KKR will look to extend their historical lead, while SRH continue to ride the momentum from their 2025 and 2026 wins to narrow the all-time gap.
