On paper, the downpour late on Monday evening did rob both Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings of an opportunity to earn full two points with a victory. As the Knight Riders go into their next game, which is against Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens on Thursday, rain, in all likelihood, will continue to be a factor. So, for the Knight Riders batting group, particularly their top order, tackling Super Giants’ pace spearhead Mohammed Shami will be a big task. Alongside having an extensive knowledge of the Eden conditions, and more than most of the other quicks, Shami’s current form could well be a worry for theKKR top three. But KKR too have spent enough time in these conditions,” he said on Wednesday at an event for the CAB’s T20 league.
