The Knight Riders suffered a poor start after Ajinkya Rahane chose to bat first at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday, April 6. The visiting pace bowlers exploited the overcast conditions. However, persistent rain forced the umpires to abandon the match without completing even four overs in the first innings.

Xavier Bartlett Dominates Kolkata Knight Riders Top Order
Before the rain interrupted play, Punjab Kings fast bowler Xavier Bartlett delivered a strong opening spell. The overseas pacer used the swing-friendly conditions to dismiss Finn Allen for six runs and then removed Cameron Green for four, putting Kolkata Knight Riders under early pressure.
Kolkata Knight Riders were reeling at 25 for two in 3.4 overs when rain arrived. Ajinkya Rahane remained unbeaten alongside Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Despite efforts from the ground staff, excess water on the field prevented any further play before the cutoff time.
