KKR achieves rare feat in IPL; Sets new record as the first team
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has achieved a rare milestone in IPL history by becoming the first team to secure 20 or more wins against three different franchises. KKR's 80-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday added another record to their illustrious journey in the tournament.
The Kolkata team has now registered 20 wins each against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore, along with 21 wins against Punjab Kings. This remarkable feat places KKR in a league of their own, showcasing their consistent dominance over multiple teams throughout the IPL seasons.
Adding to their achievements, KKR has maintained an impressive winning streak against Sunrisers Hyderabad, with five consecutive victories between 2023 and 2025. This record matches the Delhi Capitals’ streak of five wins against Sunrisers from 2020 to 2023.
Despite their historical accomplishment, KKR faced a setback in their latest match, suffering a heavy 80-run defeat to Sunrisers. The result highlights the unpredictable nature of the IPL, even for teams with consistent records.
