Sandeep Sarkar, Kolkata: Vow to win on one side. On the other hand, the number of Wankhede Stadium. Kolkata Knight Riders in Dotana ahead of the do-or-die match at the Eden Gardens. The Knights need to win by a certain margin against the Delhi Capitals to keep any chance of making the playoffs alive. In that match KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane.
After the toss, Rahane said, ‘We will bowl first. Very simple calculation. We know everything depends on the results of previous matches. But, don’t know what the result will be. Today’s wicket is very good. We have only one cricket match to play. And like five matches. Our last 6 matches have gone very well. We want to compete and win this match. We don’t know what will happen. But everyone is on the field to win. I am proud of our team. Because, the situation from which I turned, it was not easy. It takes a lot of courage, strength of character and morale to turn around as a team. IPL fun tournament.’
One last time in the league stage 💪
All to play for in Kolkata 🙌
