Shreyas Iyer is back at Eden Gardens; only this time, he’s wearing the wrong jersey. The man who led Kolkata Knight Riders to IPL glory just last season now returns as captain of a resurgent Punjab Kings side that could end KKR’s playoff hopes in a high-stakes clash on Saturday.
For Kolkata, the math is brutal. Five wins from their remaining six games is the only realistic route to the playoffs, and their recent form offers little comfort. Ten days ago, chasing just 112 against PBKS, they collapsed for 95.

A heavy defeat to Gujarat Titans followed. Their middle and lower-middle order is misfiring at the worst possible time, and their title defense is crumbling fast.
Meanwhile, Punjab are peaking. That gritty win over KKR might have flipped their season. With five wins in eight and points shared with RCB, they’re suddenly in the mix. Three more wins should do the job but 2014 still haunts them.
