Kolkata, March 13: Two former India captains are set to be at opposite ends when Sourav Ganguly’s Kolkata Knight Riders, fresh from a stunning win over defending champions Deccan Chargers, take on the Anil Kumble-led Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League here tomorrow.
With confidence sky-high and spirt in abundance, KKR’s performance in Mumbai would definitely enthuse the local fans who are expected to turn up in large numbers.
Nobody expected KKR to win against the champion team from Hyderabad but the unpredictable Twenty20 format had something amazing in offer in the inaugural tie at the Dr DY Patil stadium last night.
Inspirational Ganguly who is back as skipper after last season’s humiliation, led the team to an 11-run victory.
