Kolkata Knight Riders will begin their IPL campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore on 31 March in Bangalore. Knight Riders who are led by Dinesh Karthik will aim to have a better season as compared to last year. The club was not able to qualify for the playoff stages in IPL 2019 and they would look to turn the tide.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders will play their last league match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 15 in their home ground of Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Knight Riders had broken the bank as they had bought Australia’s gun pacer Pat Cummins for a whopping amount of INR 15.5 crores.
Knight Riders will aim for a better season.
Furthermore, they had roped in the services of England’s limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan. They also bought England’s exciting opener Tom Banton, who has impressed with his skills.
