Today's Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad live stream sees the champions play host to the franchise they defeated with such ease in last year's Indian Premier League final. Below we have all the information on how to watch IPL live streams from anywhere – for free and in the UK/US.

The top two sides from 2024 have only a single win each in the three games they've played so far this year. KKR have yet to pass the 200 mark, and were bowled out by the Mumbai Indians for a humbling 116 on Monday. Excepting Quinton de Kock's knock of 97* during their sole win, the Knight Riders' batters simply haven't showed up yet.

SRH kicked off the comp in style when they posted the IPL's second biggest score of 286 on day two of the season. But they've failed to defend a pair of mediocre totals since, with opening bowlers Mohammed Shami and Abhishek Sharma struggling to find their stride.

With both sides languishing towards the foot of the table, here's how to watch Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad online wherever you are.
