Eden Gardens Weather Updates: The weather gods are going to play spoilsport in the KKR vs MI match. In what is the Kolkata Knight Riders’ last home game of the IPL 2024 season, rain is likely to ruin the game. Before this game, only one match had been interrupted by rain, and luckily, that game in Dharamshala finished without any reduction in overs. KKR fans would hope that happens today (May 11) as well, and their team remains in the top spot with two games still to go.
