On the other hand after starting well, Kolkata have struggled to maintain consistency. They have even lost from winning positions which is never a good sign. Their captain, Gautam Gambhir hasn’t been in top form, though in recent games he did show glimpses of coming back to form with some useful scores. He in particular looked in fine touch against Rajasthan Royals though Kolkata unfortunately lost the game. Catch Live Blog of the IPL 2014 match between Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders.
