Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
Nitish Rana’s side performed excellently in the last game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, winning it by 81 runs. It was the kind of win the side needed after a series of poor performances in the last few seasons.

the team’s weaknesses. Shardul Thakur played a match-winning knock in the last game, and he makes the batting formidable with Andre Russell and Sunil Narine.

Suyash Sharma did well in the last game as an impact player, and he strengtens their bowling.
