Cricket News: Kolkata eye turnaround in must-win game in IPL 2019

Kolkata Knight Riders will host Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens. KKR are at the sixth spot in the points table while RR are at number seven. Both KKR and RR lost their previous matches against SRH and DC respectively. Dinesh Karthik-led KKR are struggling to stay afloat after five defeats on the trot and will have to win remaining four league stage matches to keep their hopes alive. Rajasthan Royals, who replaced Steve smith in place of Ajinkya Rahane as the skipper, did not have a good season and are virtually out of the playoffs contention.
