KKR chase a playoffs miracle that barely fits their campaign

The aim, of course, is to win both, win them big and see what destiny has in store. But for that, they need their ace card, Varun Chakaravarthy, fit and firing. The 34-year-old spinner, who missed the RCB match and bowled with a "sore foot" against GT in the last match, trained on match eve before the MI fixture, but it was a short, sharp session behind one of the makeshift sightscreens at Eden Gardens, away from the media glare. Notably, he was limping while entering and exiting the field, suggesting that a full recovery remains a distant prospect.
