IPL 2024: Second-placed KKR look to dethrone RR from pole position
But it’s easier said than done as the Rajasthan Royals have been ruthless throughout the tournament, barring a minor blip against Gujarat Titans.
In the 18th match of the 11th season of Indian Premier League, Kings XI Punjab will face Kolkata Knight on Saturday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
The Kolkata Knight Riders have been doing exceptionally well under their new captain Dinesh Karthik. So far, KKR have won three matches in their five clashes and are at the second spot of IPL table just behind MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings.
On the other hand, KXIP are at the fourth spot with three wins and one loss.
