Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals


       The first match of the Super Sunday was a bit of a dampener with heavy rain playing spoilsport. Both teams will not be complaining though, having pocketed one point each. There's another big match coming up. It's DD against RCB at the Feroz Shah Kotla. Change tabs and enjoy all the action.
 The match has been abandoned and both teams share one point each. Rajasthan Royals move to the top of the table with 11 points while Kolkata Knight Riders stay third with 7 points.
 I saw Gambhir and Watson shake hands. That means this match might just be abandoned. We might get the official news shortly.
The super sopper is still moving across the boundary ropes. The umpires are out for another inspection. Umpire Illingworth looks concerned with the bowler run-up area. The three umpires are in the midst of a chat now. The chief curator is also involved in the chat now. Illingworth is now having a serious talk with both the teams.
 The umpires are out for another inspection. Sawdust is being applied across the outfield. The super sopper is moving across the boundary ropes and there's still plenty of water there. The umpires are chatting with both the captains and team management now.

'It's going to take at least 45 minutes to remove the covers. We will have another look at 6:30 PM. We aren't sure about the match, there's plenty of water, we will chat with the groundsmen. The cut-off time for a 5 over match is 7:30 PM,' say the umpires.
The umpires are now chatting with Paddy Upton, the coach of Rajasthan Royals. There's still plenty of water on the covers. Gautam Gambhir is involved in an intense chat with KKR coach, Trevor Bayliss. Richard Illingworth has a chat with the KKR camp now.
 The umpires are out for the inspection. Is the outfield dry enough? We should be getting more news shortly. The pitch has been uncovered. They are now checking the bowler's run-up. Morrison says there's no breeze and they are plenty of wet areas across the outfield, he reckons they need more time to get this match going.
 The floodlights have taken full effect. It is still very gloomy and there's plenty of water on the covers. The cut-off time for a 5-overs-a-side match is19:20. That leaves us with two more hours. The IPL T20 site has stated that there will be an official inspection.
 Some good news, the rain has stopped and the covers are being removed. We still have a long way to go for the start of the match though.

It looked promising for a while but the rain is back. This will be frustrating for all concerned.
 Two super-soppers are in action and the excess water on the covers are being removed. As always, Gautam Gambhir, who's standing near the team dug-out wears a pensive look. We might still have some play today.
 Rain is lashing down at the Eden Gardens. It poured yesterday night and it continues to do so today. The ground has taken quite a battering already. Scratch the earlier update, it looks like the rain is easing out. But the groundsmen haven't started mopping up as yet.
It should have been toss time but all we see on TV is Danny Morrison with an umbrella over his head. Needless to say, it is still pouring at the Eden Gardens.
 We had live visuals from the ground and the scenes are pretty murky. The entire ground has been covered. The forecast is for more showers in the evening.
The return of Shane Watson has forced the team management to make changes to their winning squad. Lead bowler, Tim Southee, lost his place and Chris Morris has found form deserting him. With James Faulkner struggling, the bowling suddenly looks short of class. Pravin Tambe has been average and the bench-strength doesn't look good either. This team plays as an unit though and under the calming influence of coach Paddy Upton and mentor Rahul Dravid, the Royals will be hoping to get back to their best.
Rajasthan Royals started off in a superb fashion - winning their first five matches. Since then, some of their cracks have shown and they went down twice in succession at Ahmedabad, their adopted home ground. The batting rests heavily on the top-3 and Rahane, Watson and Steven Smith haven't disappointed. It is their middle order that's under the scanner though. Karun Nair and Sanju Samsonhaven't lived up to expectations and that has put enormous pressure on their top-order.
The batting hasn't fired in unison either. Last year's orange cap owner, Robin Uthappa, hasn't converted his starts into something more useful. Gambhir has been the bulwark of this batting unit while Manish Pandey and Suryakumar Yadav have shone in patches. They lost their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad - a rain affected encounter and can't afford more such reversals. If the batting hasn't been consistent, the bowlers have more than not held on to their own. Morne Morkelhas been their best performer so far while Umesh Yadav has blown hot and cold. With Narine missing, will chinaman spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, get his opportunity so far or will KKR revert to Brad Hogg?
Coming to the two teams, it has been a mixed bag for Kolkata Knight Riders. They have won 4 out of their 6 matches so far, but the wins haven't been convincing. Their ace spinner, Sunil Narine, has been reported for suspect action once again and he will be missing today's match - with the team management deciding to send him once again to the bio-mechanics lab of the Sri Ramachandra University in Chennai for further tests on his bowling action. While the wily West Indian mystery spinner wasn't at his best so far in the competition, his absence is bound to be a huge blow toGautam Gambhir's team.
 Hello and a warm welcome to Match 25 of the Indian Premier League. Before going any further, let me start with some bad news. It is raining in Kolkataright now and the covers are well in place. A prompt start looks doubtful as of now. Barring a small patch, the entire ground has been covered and the skies look pretty grey and angry.
Preview:
Kolkata Knight Riders' stop-start IPL campaign has suffered another blow ahead Sunday's afternoon fixture against Rajasthan Royals with Sunil Narine likely to sit out after being reported for a suspect bowling action. Despite the latest blow to their campaign, Kolkata Knight Riders return to their home turf to get their campaign back on track in familiar conditions.
