On the other side, SRH has been in stunning form. With the return of Pat Cummins, they are playing with sharpness and confidence on the field. In their last 5 games, they have not lost a single match, which has taken them to the third spot of the IPL 2026 points table.

Considering the latest forms of both of the teams, Hyderabad is the favorite to defeat KKR in today’s match. If they can win against the Kolkata Knight Riders, then Cummins and Co. will claim the top spot of the table with 14 points, overtaking the current table topper, the Punjab Kings.
