Winning the toss, Gautam Gambhir cited the dew factor as the biggest reason for opting to field first as IPL returned to the Eden Gardens. The hosts, KKR handed Colin de Grandhomme his first cap in the IPL along with Umesh Yadav and Piyush Chawla also walked into the team to replace Chris Lynn, Ankit Rajpoot, and Kuldeep Yadav. Punjab made just one change bringing Ishant Sharma to the squad in place of T. Natarajan.
Brief scores: Kings XI Punjab 170/9 (David Miller 28, Manan Vohra 28; Umesh Yadav 4/33, Chris Woakes 2/30) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 171/2 (Gautam Gambhir 72*, Sunil Narine 37; Varun Aaron 1/23, Axar Patel 1/36) by 8 wickets.
Wonderful wordplay!
Knights now performing like kings, Kings suddenly beginning to look like pawns...

The third question is why is Narine starting ahead of Uthappa!
Two questions to which India wants an answer badly,

1. Why kattapa betrayed bahubali?
2. Why selected Ishant Sharma?
