Currently, KKR is at the third position of the ongoing IPL 2018 points table with 14 points in 13 games. They have won seven games and lost six other games in this season. They have left another game in the round-robin system and if KKR wins that game then they will surely qualify for the playoffs.

Kolkata had an important game on Tuesday night against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Eden Gardens (Kolkata) where they claimed an important 6-wicket victory with 12 balls to spare.

Left-arm chinaman Kuldeep Yadav was the hero among the KKR bowlers who had an impressive bowling figure of 4-0-20-4.

In reply, KKR comfortably chased down that target in 18 overs after losing their top four batsmen. While the opener Sunil Narine started their chasing brilliantly by scoring 21-run in the first over, other batsmen maintained the momentum till the end.
