Kolkata team has won the IPL title twice so far. Both times the command of the team was in the hands of Gautam Gambhir. This time he is a mentor.

Pitch report of Eden Gardens, Kolkata
If we talk about the pitch of Eden Gardens in Kolkata, till now it has been seen that the batsmen have been showing their talent here. It is being told that the pitch here is flat, it has given good bounce, that is why the ball comes well on the bat and it is easy for the batsmen to play strokes. Also, the boundaries here are smaller as compared to other grounds, due to which many a times miss hits go for fours and sixes. So far this year, 6 IPL matches have been played here, in most of which scores of more than 200 have been seen. Now if something similar is seen on Saturday also then it should not be a big deal. Every batsman will try to score maximum runs here.
Condition of KKR and MI in points table
If we talk about the position of both the teams in the points table, Kolkata Knight Riders, captained by Shreyas Iyer, has won eight out of 11 matches and has lost three. The team has a total of 16 points so far. There should not be much doubt that the team will go to the playoffs. But till now Q has not been placed in front of his name. In such a situation, efforts will be made to confirm it by winning one more match. The condition of Mumbai under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya is very bad. The team is now completely out of the race to reach the top 4. After playing 12 matches, the team has won only four and has only 8 points. But now Mumbai team can spoil the game of other teams, this must be kept an eye on.
