KOLKATA: Keep winning. That's the least Kolkata Knight Riders need to do to stay in the hunt for an IPL playoff berth this season. And going by the way they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match, the Nitish Rana-led side can continue hoping against hope. But just hope will not guarantee them wins. For that they will need to improve in all departments of the game in their last four matches, three of which they will get to play at home.
The purple brigade should fancy their chances against an inconsistent Punjab Kings when they face them at the Eden Gardens here on Monday. The hosts should be boosted by the fact that they have won eight of the 11 matches that the two sides had played against each other at this iconic venue. However, the intent should be the same in both camps as one wrong step can find them making an unceremonious exit from the competition.
