After Sunday\u2019s double-header, the IPL 2026 points table may not show a dramatic reshuffle at first glance, but the results have kept the competition wide open and finely poised.In the afternoon clash, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets, ending SRH\u2019s five-match winning streak.
