Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will host the 43rd match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on April 25.
Five KKR cricketers including Karthik, Uthappa, wicket-keeper Nikhil Naik and pacers Shrikant Munde and Prithvi Raj Yarra went to Mumbai for a break, a move Kallis said was done to take the players away from the game a bit and re-energise.
In their remaining four games, KKR have to win all of them to qualify for the play-offs.
Coming to the visitors, Royals, placed seventh in the points and in need to win their remaining four matches in order to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs, will be boosted by Ajinkya Rahane’s form. The India test specialist, removed from captaincy as Steve Smith took over, scored a magnificent hundred in their last game against Delhi Capitals.
