After sustaining back-to-back defeats, the team from Kolkata is yet to register its first win in the season. Because of multiple injury blows and the snub of Mustafizur Rahman, the bowling attack of the team looked out of shape. Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana has also not joined the team yet.
It is learnt that Harshit Rana has not arrived in Kolkata to join the Knight camp, but to support the team from the gallery. To show his support and to stand by the side of the team during the challenging hours, the seam bowling all-rounder is expected to be present in the stand during the match, which is scheduled to start at 7.30 PM, today.
