The iconic Eden Gardens will see defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders host the Lucknow Super Giants in an Indian Premier League clash today, April 8. The two teams will play the first match of Tuesday’s double header and will be looking to continue on from their wins in their respective previous matches.
