Welcome to inUth’s digital coverage of Match No. 54 of Indian Premier League (IPL) between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This is the last chance for Gautam Gambhir & Co. to clinch the top position in the points table and beat Rohit Sharma led MI who have qualified for the playoffs long back. KKR will not only be fighting for pride but to enter the qualifiers like a boss.
Kolkata failed to win its last game against the Kings XI Punjab by 14 runs thereby giving a hope to Punjab to stay alive in this tournament. After losing the game, skipper Gautam Gambhir revealed that he would come at the opening slot with Chris Lynn instead of Sunil Narine so that Robin Uthappa could play in his way at number 3. However, Kolkata are still at the second position as they have one of the best net run rates among all the teams except Mumbai.

On the other hand, Mumbai had also lost their last game against KXIP but this loss didn’t affect their standings as they were already in the qualifiers.
