Kolkata, April 5 (IANS) A thunderstorm that uprooted trees in the city, also put paid to the Kolkata Knight Riders' hopes to practice in the 22 yards of the Eden Gardens which turned soggy on Sunday.
The storm - locally called 'norwester' and common at this time of the year - started at around 4.15 p.m., 45 minutes before the Knights were to begin their net session on the hallowed ground.
