The last two IPL seasons have given Sunrisers Hyderabad substantial wins against Kolkata Knight Riders, yet Kolkata still lead their all-time series. The sides have met 32 times through 3 May 2026. KKR have 21 wins and SRH 11 when the 2020 Super Over is credited to its winner.
That distinction matters. Their 18 October 2020 meeting ended 163 apiece after 20 overs, but the contest did not end without a winner: Kolkata took the one-over eliminator. The head-to-head table here counts that match once as a KKR victory, while keeping the tied regulation scores visible in the explanation. The record covers men’s IPL games only and stops before 2027.

Sunrisers HyderabadKKR vs SRH IPL head-to-head record
Before the teams first played in 2026, a dated tally listed 30 meetings: KKR 19 wins, SRH 10 and one regulation tie. The tied game was decided by a Super Over in Kolkata’s favour, giving KKR 20 winner-assigned victories in those first 30 meetings. Hyderabad’s 65-run victory in April and Kolkata’s seven-wicket win in May took the total to 32 and left the split at 21–11.

Men’s IPL through the completed 3 May 2026 match. The 2020 tied regulation innings have a Super Over winner, not a no-result.
Most runs in KKR vs SRH IPL matches
David Warner heads the opponent-specific batting list with 619 runs in this pairing. Nitish Rana is next on 492, with Manish Pandey at 475, Robin Uthappa at 426 and Shikhar Dhawan at 380. These figures cover IPL innings played when the two franchises faced each other. They are not the players’ total career runs against a team while representing other franchises.
This five-player list was recorded ahead of the first KKR–SRH game of 2026. None of the five added a batting score in the two matches that followed. Pandey was named among Kolkata’s players who did not bat in the May chase; he has not been credited with runs merely for appearing on that scorecard.
The sequence also shows why the all-time batting cards and the current line-ups are different things. Warner and Dhawan’s runs came during earlier Hyderabad seasons, while Rana and Uthappa contributed for Kolkata. Pandey’s figure spans his appearances for both sides in this particular contest. The cards follow the fixture, not a prediction about who will play next.

Last five KKR vs SRH IPL matches
Kolkata won the most recent encounter in Hyderabad on 3 May 2026. SRH were all out for 165, with Travis Head scoring 61. Varun Chakravarthy took 3/36, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi‘s 59 helped KKR reach 169/3 in 18.2 overs. The April meeting had looked very different: Hyderabad made 226/8 at Eden Gardens, led in part by Heinrich Klaasen‘s 52, then dismissed Kolkata for 161 to win by 65 runs.
In the final meeting of 2025, staged in Delhi rather than Hyderabad, Klaasen’s unbeaten 105 from 39 balls powered SRH to 278/3. KKR were all out for 168, a 110-run gap. Kolkata had won the earlier 2025 fixture at home by 80 runs after making 200/6 and bowling SRH out for 120; Venkatesh Iyer scored 60 and Vaibhav Arora took 3/29.
The fifth completed game in this window is the 2024 IPL final. SRH managed 113 in Chennai, and KKR reached 114/2 in 10.3 overs to win by eight wickets. Mitchell Starc returned 2/14. The final counts in this head-to-head record alongside the regular-season games; omitting it would distort both the totals and the recent-results sequence.
