Kolkata, April 16: Needing a miracle to make the semifinals, both Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals would be desperate for a big win when they clash in an Indian Premier League match here tomorrow.
Both the teams are in the same boat as only a big win combined with favourable results from other ties can help their cause.
Having started off the season amid much hype and hoopla, Knight Riders fizzled out when it came to performance on the field.
After sacking John Buchanan following their last-place finish in IPL 2, KKR roped in another World Cup winning coach in Dav Whatmore, a Pakistani bowling legend in Wasim Akram and reinstated the most successful Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly as their captain.
The Knights began their season months ahead of the other franchisees with training and camps but what translated on the field was just misery.
