The extra edge of today's match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Pune Warriors India is comeback of Ganguly, but this time against his former franchise. He wasn't bought by his former team as well as any other teams in this year's auction. Later on he was picked by PWI and today he will feature against KKR, which is his former IPL team.
PWI is a team which is already eliminated form IPL. So today's match would just be a play for pride game for them. Meanwhile KKR is placed on 4th position with 14 points. Today's win will seal their inclusion in the play offs. KKR is weary of Kings Eleven Punjab. A loss for KKR today will open a door for KXIP to enter the play offs. Punjab's big win of 111 runs against RCB will be playing at the back of KKR's mind.
The main performers for KKR in this IPL are Kallis, Gambhir, Pathan and Abdulla. So a lot depends on their performance today. PWI's batting department relies a lot on Yuvraj and Ryder. Rao has always provide a vital helping hand to the team. Bowling side has to click on time if they have to display an outstanding cricket here.
