It is east of India vs west of India as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on the new franchise Gujarat Lions in Match no. 38 of this season of Indian Premier League (IPL). KKR has been one of the most talked-about teams since IPL’s inception with Shah Rukh Khan as its co-owner while Gujarat Lions, the new guys in the business, are not far behind with a massive crowd from the state supporting them.

While KKR will look to win the glorious trophy for the second time, Gujarat Lions will want to become the winners in the very first season they take part in.

This is the tenth match for KKR in IPL 9 while eleventh for the Gujarat Lions. Both the teams have quite a balanced line-up and have the potential to beat any of the teams in contest. While it is the experience factor that works for KKR, Gujarat Lions will want their fresh ideas to count and make difference.

The match is scheduled to take place in the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Eden Gardens has over the years hosted many matches and is the home ground for the KKR team. With the largest capacity in the country, KKR is expected to get a huge home side support and morale booster for the Sunday fixture.
