INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be forced to go down memory lane when they welcome their most successful captain Gautam Gambhir, who is now
in charge of Delhi Daredevils (DD), in an Indian Premier League (IPL) game between the two teams at the Eden Gardens on Monday
Gambhir helped KKR win titles in 2012 and 2014 before jumping ship to his hometown franchise Daredevils this year
The captaincy mantle was handed over to Dinesh Karthik, who has so far looked out of sorts in the opening two games, where KKR finished
second best to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), respectively

Dhoni's CSK in a nail-biting game was more down to misfortune, SRH rolled over the purple brigade with bat and ball barring the 12 overs
from KKR's spinners which made the modest chase of 139 look difficult
As Karthik rightly pointed out at the post-match press conference on Saturday, KKR's strength lies in their three-pronged spin attack led by
mystery spinner Sunil Narine and also has celebrated chinaman Kuldeep Yadav and veteran leggie, Piyush Chawla
Narine was exceptional against SRH on Saturday, conceding just 17 runs in four overs and also taking the timely wickets of Wriddhiman Saha,
who looked good for his 15-ball 24 and in-form Shikhar Dhawan (7).KKR: Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Chris Lynn, Dinesh Karthik (captain),
