On the other hand, KKR will be desperate to bounce back after their loss against Rajasthan Royals in the last match. How will the character of 22 yards in this match?

In the other match, KKR chased Lucknow Super Giants’ target of 162 runs and won in just 16 overs. There is full possibility of scoring big runs in this match as well.
But today the temperature in the city has crossed 40 degrees. Today and six districts of South Bengal are under extreme heat wave warning. Heat wave will continue till Friday in South Bengal. Extremely hot and uncomfortable weather will persist. While there is a chance of light rain on Monday, no rain is expected today. The temperature of Kolkata is knocking at the door of 41 degrees. 5 degrees Celsius above normal. Dry westerly winds will increase heat in western districts. Hot and muggy weather through Friday. Dry westerly winds will increase the heat and discomfort. Lu situation in the western districts. Temperature in the room is 45 degrees. It goes without saying that the afternoon match in the scorching heat is going to be a big test of the players’ fitness.
Before this match there was a picture of harmony in Eden. The much-speculated Kohli-Gambir relationship, Gambhir and Kohli exchanged pleasantries with smiles. Gambhir was the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants in the last IPL. Kohli was involved in an altercation with Afghanistan cricketer Naveen Ul Haq during the Lucknow vs RCB match. Later Gauti also got involved in that trouble. Kohli and Gambhir – both cricketers from Delhi. The two are never said to have been on good terms.
But that ice has melted. Gambhir is moving forward with a smile when he sees Kohli. Kohli is hugging back. Hostilities seem to have ended. At least in public. But in the 22-yard fight, no one will give up ground to anyone, that’s for sure.
