Kolkata Knight Riders are coming from a dramatic win against Rising Pune Supergiants in the last game. Umesh Yadav’s six on the last ball, helped KKR to win the game by 2 wickets. Gautam Gambhir & company have been doing great in the competition so far and won 4 matches played out of 5. They only lost one game which was against the same opponent i.e. Mumbai Indians.
