KKR team during a practice session at Eden Gardens on Monday. On Saturday, at IS Bindra PCA Stadium, KKR required 45 runs off the last four overs with three wickets in hand in chasing 192 against Punjab Kings when rain arrived, but with them being seven runs behind on the DLS par score meant the two-time champions slumped to their first defeat of the season. Moreover, the start of their chase was delayed by nearly 30 minutes due to floodlight failure. On April 6, KKR take on RCB on their home turf
