How quickly fortunes could change in a tournament like the IPL is evident from the plight of Kolkata Knight Riders who will be up against table toppers Gujarat Titans at the DY Patil on Saturday.
Shreyas Iyer-led KKR were up and running after the first four games with three wins and a loss to boast of before three successive losses came as a dampener. Their last defeats were all at the CCI's Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and came against Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals.
KKR's last victory was as back as April 6 when they defeated Mumbai Indians by five wickets at Pune's MCA Stadium. The two-time champions had made changes in their batting order too by promoting Sunil Narine to partner Aaron Finch and demoting Venkatesh Iyer down the order.
Knight Riders are expected to rejig their playing combination against in order to stop their losing streak against high-on-confidence Titans who won their previous game even without their skipper and mainstay Hardik Pandya. Pandya missed GT's last match against defending champions Chennai Super Kings on April 17 due to stiffness in his groin.
