Some close shaves, some close heartbreaks, some individual highs, some rather lows. It’s been a rollercoaster of a couple of months, and although the results might not be what we had wanted, and our position on the points table might not be what we had envisaged, it’s been an eventful viewing. Right then, there are two games left, beginning with our final game on the road at the mighty Eden Gardens against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday (April 11). 

And guess what? The promising bit of trivia going into this KKRvMI fixture is that MI has won seven of the last 10 matchups in Kolkata. This adds to our psychological advantage knowing that we also have a 23-10 lead in the head-to-head rivalry.

Hosts Kolkata enter this game with the hope of getting a boost to their playoff hopes, but we are now with some momentum, and we will take the field to make amends for the defeat in the reverse fixture at the Wankhede.

A mouth-watering battle awaits, with the explosion of runs, wickets, and some unexpectedness with the ball on the menu for the cricket fans travelling to the City of Joy. We can’t keep calm, and we know you feel the same, Paltan. So let’s manifest a W all the way through.

What: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians

When: Saturday, May 11, 2024

Where: Eden Gardens, Kolkata

What to expect: Our final game on the road and a renewed feeling of bowing out on a high, the pace of Gerald Coetzee vs the dynamism of Phil Salt, the geniuses at clash in Jasprit Bumrah vs Sunil Narine, and Mumbai Indians extending their fine head-to-head record against KKR!

What you need to do: Support. Let’s drown the Purple in the Blue and Gold, and give it everything one last time before we head back home.
