The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 will resume on September 19, 2021. Cricket enthusiasts must gear up to witness some tough contest between the teams. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the schedule of the second half-season of the tournament on Sunday (July 25). Therefore, all eight teams must be ready to plant their flags in the United Arab Emirates. In the article, we will know all about the Kolkata Knight Riders schedule for the second phase of IPL 2021.
For those who are not updated, IPL 2021 was initially scheduled to begin in India during the span of April-May. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the BCCI to postpone the tournament in the middle. The remaining competition will begin in a couple of days. The UAE leg will not prove to be the same for all sides. 29 games are over out of the 56 league-stage games. While some teams would like to keep their purple patch on, others would definitely aim for a change of fortune.

KKR performance in IPL 2021 so far
Kolkata Knight Riders undoubtedly, belong to the category of teams who are looking for a change of fortune. The two-time champions did not perform according to expectations and their ranking in the team standings is proof. Winning two games out of seven, KKR initially bagged a high spot in the team standings. This was at the time of suspension of the season. This makes it clear that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) need to win almost all their remaining matches to qualify for the playoffs. Not to mention, a tough challenge is awaiting the Shah Rukh Khan-owned team and it is going to be interesting to see how they perform.
Notable players including captain Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine need to step up to change KKR’s fortunes. Australian speedster Pat Cummins will not feature during the remaining season, and this is another reason why many are not convinced about KKR to bounce back in the competition. Nevertheless, the likes of Russell, Narine, and Morgan have played T20 globally and have immense experience. Hence, ruling KKR out of the competition is not wise for other teams. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) resumes their IPL 2021 campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore on September 20.
