Riyan Parag and Ajinkya Rahane (Image credit: BCCI/IPL) KOLKATA: Kolkata Knight Riders’ season is going from bad to worse and the knives will definitely be out. As they reach the halfway stage of the IPL without a win, Sunday’s game against Rajasthan Royals at the Eden may provide them with an opportunity to embark on a journey of redemption.Perhaps they are asking too much, though with a single point in the bag they have a herculean task ahead of them. Punters won’t bet on them winning all eight remaining games, especially with their low morale and lack of a goal. There seem to be many faults in the way KKR go about their task and it stops with skipper Ajinkya Rahane.

Shreyas Iyer’s Masterclass and Arshdeep Singh’s Return! PBKS reveal a winning formula The veteran was not very inspiring as a leader and some decisions on the field also came under scrutiny. Cameron Greene’s batting position is quite confusing. The Aussie got to No. 3 and 6 before firing at No. 4. With his brilliant 79 against Gujarat Titans, Green has a monkey of an enormous price tag. However, the all-rounder failed against the Titans despite bowling two overs against LSG and CSK.Sunday’s game is about teams on two ends of the spectrum. Even as KKR languished at the bottom, Royals were running away with all the glory until they hit a snag against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game.Incidentally, while KKR were on the road for a week, RR had a good three days of training here.
