Under the mentorship of former IPL winning captain Gautam Gambhir, this current KKR side is looking like a team on a mission to win the championship as they sit at the top of the table. That being said, KKR’s next game is not until Saturday and the squad is currently enjoying a break to rejuvenate from this hectic schedule and prepare them for the next crucial matches and playoffs. With players engaging in activities like tennis ball cricket to develop off the field team bonding.
Nitish has been on the sidelines for a few matches in IPL due to his thumb injury. However, he is expected to regain full fitness before the business end of the season. The team will expect their vice-captain to be available before the playoffs.
Kolkata Knight Riders will face Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens for their match, a win would solidify their position amongst the top two. Meanwhile, MI’s chance for making to the playoffs is on thin ice as their fate would be determined by the results of their opponents.
