Following a chastening defeat in the last match, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be eying an immediate return to winning ways when they take on an in-form Gujarat Titans (GT) team on Monday evening. This is a home game for KKR and will be played at the iconic Eden Gardens Stadium.
The last time KKR were in action, they ended up making an unwanted record. In the match against Punjab Kings, KKR did all the right things right up until the half time when they restricted Shreyas Iyer’s team to a modest total of 111 runs. No team ever managed to defend a total as low as this.
But somehow, the reigning champions manufactured a downfall which was even bigger than PBKS’. KKR were bundled out for just 95 runs, losing the game by 16 runs. This result could come back to haunt KKR when it comes to qualifying to the playoffs.
