A buoyant
Kolkata Knight Riders
will lock horns with a charged up
Rajasthan Royals in a battle for survival at the Indian Premier League T20 tournament on Tuesday.
Their fate hanging in balance, a loss in the penultimate league round match may virtually sound the death knell for one of the two teams.
It's a mad scramble for the two available play-off berths with five teams including KKR and RR, who are tied on 12 points, remaining in the hunt.
To make the competition stiffer, both the teams have picked up late momentum in the business end of the tournament.
Down after back-to-back defeats, KKR bounced back with a bang, posting the fourth highest total of the
IPL -- 245/6 -- to down Kings XI Punjab by 31 runs in their last match.
From being on the verge of elimination, RR too have returned to the reckoning with a hat-trick of wins, thanks to the imperious form shown by
Jos Buttler who was adjudged man-of-the-match in all the three victories.
Here are the details of when, where and how you can follow all the action from the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals to be played today at the
Eden Gardens
