After getting the better of the Lucknow-based franchise in an away clash, the Kolkata Knight Riders players took a return flight to Kolkata which after a couple of diversions, finally reached the intended destination on Tuesday.
KKR will host Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens later this week.
Meanwhile, a clip has emerged of Rinku Singh having a chat with KKR teammate Nitish Rana.
After answering Rana’s query, Rinku complained of being disturbed.
KKR have so far been in scintillating form in this season’s IPL. They have notched eight victories in eleven appearances till now in this campaign.
Rinku may have been left disappointed at having missed his chance to secure a place in India’s 15-man squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The Southpaw has been roped in as part of the reserve along with Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan and Khaleel Ahmed.
Rinku hasn’t had much chances this season for KKR to make an impact and has aggregated 148 runs at a strike rate of over 145.
Meanwhile, Sunil Narine has been the star performer for KKR this season. The spin-bowling allrounder has been churning out consistent performances for the Shreyas Iyer-led side.

In his 11 appearances, Narine has racked up a total of 461 runs at a solid average of 41.90 and a strike-rate of 183.67. He currently holds the third place on the Orange Cap race.
In KKR’s last game against LSG, Narine pulled off a blistering start. He scored 81 runs off just 39 balls and his knock was laced with six fours and seven sixes.
Riding on his power-packed batting, KKR posted a total of 235.
With Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy picking three wickets each, the LSG batting unit looked pale during the chase. Apart from KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis, no player was able to breach the 20-run mark. They finally wrapped up the innings at 137 runs, losing their 10 wickets in 16.1 overs.
