But now it’s the right time for Gujarat to return in the form once again. When the last time both Gujarat and Kolkata met, Lions succeeds to win the match in final moments by 5 runs. Team Raina will definitely be looking to repeat the same against Kolkata Knight Riders who have got big loss in the last match as their prime all-rounder Andre Russell is out from this match.

Kolkata Knight Riders have got big blow as Russell will not be available for this match as he got leg injured during the last match. So there will be definitely a replacement and we can expect Colin Munro to play in a crunch game.
