However In the event of Pietersen missing out on another game, the Daredevils will again have to depend on their two other overseas player, J P Duminy and Ross Taylor. Both batted satisfactory in their first match and revived the team from a tottering 17 for three to 145 for four in 20 overs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Bowling was also a concern area in the opening game, particularly the spinners; both Shahbaz Nadeem and Rahul Sharma were expensive against the RCB. They will have to bowl with a lot more variation besides hitting the right line and length.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">On the other hand, the Knight Riders will be high on confidence after the huge victory against MI. Old doyen Jacques Kallis once again showed that age can`t force him down, with an tremendous knock, which set up the game for the Knight Riders.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Yusuf Pathan, who is back in India for the birth of his baby boy, might miss the game though.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">As far as the bowling department is concerned, mystery spinner Sunil Narine continues to bully the batsmen with his guile. He made the MI batsmen bewildered, finishing with excellent figures of 4\/20.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Apart from Narain, KKR other bowlers&nbsp; R Vinay Kumar, Morne Morkel, Shakib Al Hasan and Piyush Chawla also bowled economically.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><strong>Kolkata Knight Riders Team<\/strong> Gautam Gambir,MS Bisla,PP Chawla,PJ Cummins,DB Das,JH Kallis,Kuldeep Yadav,CA Lynn,SS Mondal,M Morkel,SP Narine,MK Pandey, YK Pathan,V Pratap Singh,AD Russell,Shakib Al Hasan,RN Ten,Doeschate,RV Uthapa,R Vinay Kumar,UT Yadav and SA Yadav.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><strong>Delhi Daredevils Team<\/strong> Mayank Agarwal,Nathan Coulter-Nile,Jean-Paul Duminy,Quinton de Kock,Kedar Jadhav,Dinesh Karthik,Siddarth Kaul,Milind Kumar,Shahbaz Nadeem,Mohammed Shami,Jimmy Neesham,Wayne Parnell,Kevin Pietersen,HS Sharath,Rahul Sharma,Laxmi Shukla,Ross Taylor,Rahul Shukla,Manoj Tiwary,Saurabh Tiwary,Murali Vijay,Jayant Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Team cricketnmore<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">\/ Lal Prateek Vikram Singh<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
