Kolkata, April 26: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will have to decide whether to play Sunil Narine or not against Rajasthan Royals in today's Match 25 in the Indian Premier League 2015 (IPL 8).
IPL Special; Points Table; Match Preview
Narine was reported for a suspected illegal bowling action and though he can continue to bowl, KKR will be in a dilemma. (Rain threat looms large over the match)
Yesterday, KKR captain Gautam Gambhir said Narine will be available for selection. If the umpires find the West Indian spinner's action again suspect, there are chances of him being banned from bowling further in IPL 8.
Narine's factor aside, KKR will be happy to play at home - Eden Gardens. Both teams are coming off losses. KKR were beaten by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a rain-hit game while RR were defeated convincingly by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
