Sandeep Sarkar, Kolkata: Vote when the rain stops. It rained after the end of voting. The Kolkata Knight Riders camp is haunted by the fear of losing the match again at home.
The match against Punjab Kings was played due to rain. The rain continued till around 11 pm. Even CAB President Sourav Gangopadhyay could not start the match even after entering the field due to rain. Coming back home on Saturday Kolkata Knight Riders. The opponent is Gujarat Titans. Who are sitting with 16 points in 12 matches. Another win means the playoffs are guaranteed.

And in that match is not the rain frown! Even, the match can be lost in Kalboishakhi!
Both the wrestling teams practiced at the Eden Gardens from Friday afternoon. Since the evening there were flashes in the sky. With occasional gusts of wind. The thunder of the clouds. Around eight o’clock in the night, the rain came down suddenly. With strong storm. In Kalvaishakhi, Landabhand is also the field.
Eden’s field workers have covered the ground by then. But the setback is due to the storm. Suddenly the cover in the middle of the field was blown. About 10-12 workers could not hold the cover even though they tried. The cover went to B Block Gallery. Caught on the railing.
The battle continued for the next hour. The field workers tried hard but could not keep the cover intact. The field is wet. Even, once the cover over the pitch was removed for a few moments. Twenty-two yards are wet!
The way the water stood on the field, some were saying that if the game had been played on Saturday morning, the field would have been soft. Could not start on time. To say relief, the match started at 7:30 PM. The field should be ready by then.
However, Saturday is also forecast for Kalbaisakhi. If the match fails for some reason? KKR’s forehead can burn. Points will be shared. In that case KKR will get maximum 14 points even if they win the last two matches. It is more likely that the playoff ticket will not be confirmed.
