A stuttering Kolkata Knight Riders team will face a tough assignment in the form of defending champions Gujarat Titans in their next IPL match. The big-ticket clash is slated to take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 29. It will be the first fixture of Saturday’s doubleheader and will begin at 3:30 PM IST.
The Knight Riders were thrashed by Chennai Super Kings in their previous home game. The side did manage to end a four-match losing streak in their last appearance against Royal Challengers Bangalore beating them by 21 runs. A win is a must for Kolkata if they want to be in contention for the playoff spots.
