Kolkata Knight Riders look for repeat



"We can do a CSK" is the line coming out of the Kolkata Knight Riders' camp.

Ryder beaten into coma

Troubled New Zealand cricketer Jesse Ryder was in a critical condition in hospital on Thursday after an “extremely vicious” attack as he left a bar in Christchurch, police said.
