When Will KKR Play Their Next Game In IPL 2021?

They now find themselves in an even deeper lake of ordeal as two of their players, Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier have tested positive for the virus.

Kolkata’s next game is on 8th May against Delhi Capitals. They are rooted in the seventh spot of the points table as they have won just two games out of their seven games until now.
