KKR vs LSG Pitch Report
The wicket at Eden Gardens in Kolkata is a paradise for the batters. The last time KKR played at their home venue was back on 23rd March. Both the teams scored above 200 runs. SRH nearly chased down 208 before Harshit Rana’s brilliant last over turned the tide to KKR’s favour.
