Kolkata: The Kolkata Knight Riders gained an early momentum against the Kings XI Punjab as they struck with quick wickets in their IPL match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday.
Earlier, KKR's skipper Gautam Gambhir won the toss and elected to bowl first.
The home side made just one change into their playing eleven with all-rounder Rajat Bhatia replacing Jaidev Unadkat.
The visitors, on the other hand, included Bhargav Bhatt and Bipul Sharma to their side.
Knight Riders would like to continue the momentum they got from the win against the Delhi Daredevils few days back. Kings, who have fared well so far in the tournament, would also hope to beat the Knights in their own backyard.
Teams:
Kolkata Knight Riders: Jacques Kallis, Shreevats Goswami, Gautam Gambhir(C), Manoj Tiwary, Yusuf Pathan, Eoin Morgan, Ryan ten Doeschate, Rajat Bhatia, Brett Lee, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Iqbal Abdulla
