KKR suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of RCB in match 57 of IPL 2026, played in Raipur on Wednesday, May 13. It was KKR’s first loss after winning their last four games on the trot.

KKR posted a competitive total of 192 after being asked to bat first. RCB got off to a strong start with the new ball, but KKR recovered well, thanks to brilliant innings from Angkrish Raghuvanshi and a strong finishing cameo from Rinku Singh.

However, RCB cruised to victory in reply without breaking much of a sweat, thanks to a masterclass from Virat Kohli with the bat. While the loss dented KKR’s playoff hopes slightly, but still remain in contention for a spot in the season’s knockout stage.

After their latest match, here is a look at the list of KKR's remaining fixtures this IPL 2026 season.

KKR in IPL 2026: The journey so far

KKR had a disastrous start to their IPL 2026 season, losing five of their first six games. They earned no wins and only one point from a washout against Punjab Kings, struggling to find form and consistently post competitive totals.

Their fortunes changed at home against Rajasthan Royals, where Rinku Singh’s brilliance secured KKR’s first win. Riding that momentum, KKR went on to win four games consecutively, showcasing improved batting and bowling performances.

Coming into the clash against RCB in Raipur, KKR were eighth in the points table with four wins and nine points from 10 games. The defeat ended their four-game winning streak, leaving them with four wins and six losses from 11 matches.

IPL 2026 playoff qualification scenario for KKR

Even though KKR lost Match 57 against RCB in Raipur, they remain in the hunt for a playoff spot as of May 13. The franchise is still very much alive to secure a IPL 2026 playoffs spot.

With three league games remaining, all at home, KKR can reach a maximum of 15 points if they win all their matches, making them optimistic about their chances. However, KKR's qualification will also require several results to go their way.

For KKR to make it to the top four, multiple scenarios need to align considering they won each of their last three games: 

• CSK or RR should not cross 14 points, 
• PBKS should lose at least two of their remaining matches with big margins, 
• and Delhi Capitals must fail to win both of their remaining games.
