Two-time title winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are all set to kickstart their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 campaign on Sunday against formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Eden Gardens.
Last season, skipper Dinesh Karthik led the Knights from the front amassing 498 runs and finished as the team's highest scorer. However, the unit couldn’t make it into the finals as they lost to SRH by 14 runs in Qualifier-2.
After a year, KKR has geared up well to host the Orange Army where they can seek revenge for their previous loss.
Coming to the visitors, all eyes will be on David Warner as the southpaw continues his return to cricket after being banned for a year after the ball tampering incident. According to team mentor VVS Laxman, Warner is looking as fit as ever and is raring to go.
