In form bowlers Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh returned in the game with the same energy and took no time to attack the openers. Maxwell flagged of today's campaign for the unit and easily removed Nitish Rana with just the second delivery of the game.
Shami too did what he is best known for. Stepped in the field to deliver his first assigned over and dismissed Thripathi 7(4) and Kartik 0(2) one after the other in the second over of the 1st innings. But later in his overs, faced encounter by Shubhman who forced Shami to leak several lengths.
Morgan's Brigade evidently struggled with its batting order this evening but later pull up the game with a rock solid partnership between the Captain and opener Gill. From several boundaries and maximums, the game looked pretty consistent from here on. While Morgan contributed 40 off 25 deliveries, Gill score his half century this evening. This certainly turned out to be the turning point for Unit Kolkata which initially in the game fell apart due to early fall of major three wickets!

It is yet to be seen who will walk out with a victory this evening and step an inch closer to the qualifiers. Meanwhile, KL Rahul and Chris Gayle are expected to put up a decent performance for the fans in their batting inning. KKR's mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy is also being expected to once again show his confidence and strangle the opponents with his attack.
