Kolkata Knight Riders Performance So Far
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders, the defending champions, have disappointed with their performance this season. After losing the match, last season's winners couldn't maintain their form from the previous year and have only won five out of the twelve matches played. The team needs two more victories to keep hope alive for the playoffs, as two victories will only bring them to the 15-point mark, where the run rate might come into play.
