A few of the covers have been removed...still a full game is out of the question as for now.

And it is still raining here. The prospect of a full 20 over game is very unlikely as for now.

Welcome to LIVE coverage of Match 25 of IPL 8 which has Kolkata Knight Riders facing Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
KKR have named the late Ankit Keshri as honorary 16th man for the game.
Gautam Gambhir's side have had a see-saw ride so far and a packed stadium will be incentive enough to win the match.
The KKR skipper has looked in pristine touch and his form will be crucial if KKR are to beat a down-cast RR.
RR on the other hand are coming on back of two morale sapping losses to RCB and KXIP and will aim to break their losing streak.
Ajinkya Rahane is in great form for RR and the Men-in-Purple will aim to bank on him to get them a flying start.
KKR favourites to win this game given current form and RR will have a tough task if they are to break their losing streak.
