Kolkata, April 6: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) has been called off at Eden Gardens in Kolkata due to wet outfield after heavy rains on Monday.

The match had already been interrupted earlier when drizzle turned into heavy rain, forcing the umpires to bring the covers on. One point each has been given to both the sides and this is the first point received by KKR in the IPL 2026 season so far.

Even after the rain stopped the ground conditions did not improve enough for play to resume, leading officials to call off the match. Both teams had to share one point each.
