Kolkata Knight Riders after playing 6 matches have been able to win just 2 games till now. In the previous match it was a bad batting effort as KKR got all-out at the score of just 127 runs, Jason Roy playing his first match was good with the bat and later on Andre Russell attacked in the end but to defend the target it was difficult but Bowlers took the game till the last over as spinners were outstanding but the target was not enough.
