KKR vs LSG Head to Head: Complete IPL Records, Stats and Match History (2022-2026)
Just 5 IPL meetings between KKR and Lucknow Super Giants but this young rivalry has already packed in a 98-run demolition, a 1-run heartbreaker and a complete momentum swing between 2022 and 2024. LSG lead 3-2 overall but KKR’s 2024 form tells a very different story. Check the full IPL 2026 match schedule to see when these two meet this season.

KKR’s highest of 235 is significantly higher than LSG’s 210, yet LSG lead the overall head-to-head 3-2. KKR’s lowest of 101 also shows how dramatically they can collapse in this fixture, which is exactly what happened in LSG’s 75-run win in 2022.

LSG’s 1-run win in 2023 is the closest this fixture has come to a tied match. KKR needed just 2 more runs and could not get them. That result continued LSG’s early dominance over KKR which across three seasons from 2022 to 2023 was near total. Then KKR flipped everything completely in 2024.
Match by Match Breakdown
| Match | Key Detail | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 Match 1 | LSG in debut season beat KKR convincingly | LSG by 75 runs |
| 2022 Match 2 | KKR push hard but fall just short | LSG by 2 runs |
| 2023 Match 1 | Another near-miss for KKR, lose by single run | LSG by 1 run |
| 2024 Match 1 | KKR chase down target without losing a wicket | KKR by 8 wickets |
| 2024 Match 2 | KKR post 235 and bowl LSG out for 137 | KKR by 98 runs |
The contrast between 2022-2023 and 2024 is extraordinary. In their first three meetings KKR lost twice by margins of 2 runs and 1 run, matches they should have won. In 2024 KKR swept both fixtures without breaking a sweat, winning by 8 wickets and then 98 runs. That 98-run win is the biggest margin in this fixture’s history and came as part of KKR’s title-winning campaign.

The Close Losses That Defined KKR’s Early Record
| Match | KKR Score | LSG Score | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 Match 2 | Fell 2 runs short | Won | LSG by 2 runs |
| 2023 Match 1 | Fell 1 run short | Won | LSG by 1 run |
Two consecutive near-misses by 2 runs and 1 run. KKR lost those matches by a combined margin of 3 runs across two separate seasons. If either had gone KKR’s way the head-to-head would be level at 2-2 going into 2024 instead of KKR trailing 0-3. Those three runs arguably cost KKR the overall head-to-head lead in this rivalry.

Scoring Patterns
| Innings | Highest | Lowest | Characteristic |
|---|---|---|---|
| KKR Batting | 235 | 101 | Explosive ceiling, occasional collapses |
| LSG Batting | 210 | 137 | More consistent, rarely gets demolished |
| Biggest Win by Runs | 98 runs (KKR, 2024) | – | Most dominant batting display in fixture |
| Closest Finish | 1 run (LSG, 2023) | – | Tightest result in rivalry history |
KKR’s range from 101 to 235 shows the two extremes of what this team is capable of. When they are on song as in 2024 they are almost unstoppable in this fixture. When they are off they collapse completely as happened in the 75-run defeat in 2022. LSG have been far more consistent in their scoring but their ceiling is lower.

Notable Moments in This Short Rivalry
- 2022 Match 1: LSG announced themselves in IPL cricket by beating KKR convincingly by 75 runs in just their debut season
- 2022 Match 2: KKR came agonisingly close to pulling one back but fell 2 runs short in one of the tightest finishes of that season
- 2023: LSG won by just 1 run in what remains the narrowest result in this fixture, KKR’s last-wicket pair unable to get the runs needed
- 2024 Match 1: KKR’s 8-wicket win was their most dominant batting performance against LSG, chasing down the target with overs to spare
- 2024 Match 2: KKR posted 235, their highest score in this fixture, and then bowled LSG out for 137 in a 98-run demolition that was as one-sided as this rivalry gets
KKR vs LSG in IPL 2026
LSG lead 3-2 overall but KKR have completely dominated the last two meetings. If KKR win both 2026 fixtures they will take the overall head-to-head lead for the first time. LSG on the other hand will want to stop that momentum and prove their 2022-2023 form was not a one-off. With this rivalry only three seasons old every match adds enormous weight to the all-time record.
| Team | IPL 2026 Status | Head to Head Motivation |
|---|---|---|
| KKR | 2024 Champions, won last 2 meetings | Win both, take overall head-to-head lead |
| LSG | Lead 3-2, lost last 2 heavily | Stop KKR run, reassert early dominance |
