Kolkata, May 22 (UNI) Quiet man behind the wicket Dinesh Karthik virtually holds the key to Kolkata Knight Riders' make or break match against resurgent Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the VIVO IPL 2018 eliminator play at Eden Gardens here on May 23.
Though on papers the Shah Rukh Khan-owned KKR looked favourites for a number of reasons. Being the hosts, their cheering home crowds over 66,000, and winners of both the legs in this edition before reaching to this stage of play off keep the purple-gold brigade an advantageous position.
However, the uncontrolled weather weather condition, basically heat and moisture, dew in the evening, unpredictable pitch surface in the death overs and finally performance of the players will decide the fate of the 20-over each play.
