Match 26 IPL 2013 –Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings
Date – Sat Apr 20
Time – 4:00 pm i.e 10:30 GMT | 16:00 IST
Venue – Eden Gardens, Kolkata

Today in the 26th match of IPL season 6, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Garden.

He has single handily took his team to victories and is the highest run getter for KKR so far in this season. Also with the inclusion of Brendon McCullum, KKR batting line up has boosted and thus this match is expected to be a high scoring game.
