Did You Know? Eden Gardens is the largest cricket stadium hosting IPL in 2026, with a capacity of 68,000. KKR won the IPL title at this very ground in 2012 — their first-ever championship. The “Narine Show” is Eden’s calling card: Sunil Narine has taken 19 wickets against PBKS and scored crucial runs at the top of the order in recent seasons. Punjab will need to silence one of cricket’s most electric home crowds to win here.
