Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) managed to arrest their slump with back-to-back victories. Last time around, Dinesh Karthik and Co defeated Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by seven wickets at the PCA Stadium and would be high on confidence. Shubman Gill’s unbeaten half-century ensured that the Knight Riders went over the line in their must-win encounter to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the playoffs.
KKR are next scheduled to play the second game of tomorrow’s doubleheader against Mumbai Indians (MI) whom they defeated in Kolkata. Even at the Eden Gardens, Gill played a crucial role. As far as Mumbai are concerned, the franchise has not only qualified for the next round but is also in contention for being the table toppers. In their last game, MI got over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Super Over.
