Amit DattaKolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow SuperGiants (LSG) players were seen at the nets at the Eden Gardens ahead of the KKR-LSG match. KKR have a 3% chance of making it to the playoffs. Their last league game is against LSG and a win against them (LSG) will register 14 points for KKR from 14 games. With three teams already above 14 (GT at 18 and CSK at 17 and LSG at 15) and one team (MI) on 14, KKR can at best finish 4th if other results go their way. RCB and PBKS with 12 points and two games remaining can either reach KKR’s tally of 14 or surpass them. MI with one win each will be beyond KKR’s reach. KKR would need a miracle to make it to the playoffs. They will hope for RCB and PBKS to lose both their games and MI to lose their last game. That way, KKR can sneak through given they beat LSG in their last league game. A loss against LSG in any case would mean the end of the road of the Nitish Rana-led side.
