Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings pitch report

The pitch at Eden Gardens will be in focus yet again with KKR publicly wanting surfaces that suit their slower bowlers. The last time they played here vs Gujarat Titans, the pitch behaved differently in two innings. The KKR spinners struggled to get much purchase off the surface in the first innings but the GT spinners led by Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan wreaked havoc in the second innings. If the pitch is on the slower side again on Saturday, expect Yuzvendra Chahal to make merry.
