Today, the last big match of this football season between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal at Salt Lake Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata. At previous four matches, the green-maroon team didn't taste the Brigade win. So, today's match is their war to turn. If Bagan wins it will be their great achievement and if East Bengal wins then they will touch the number two position.-- A. B.

Under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir, Kolkata Knight Riders played very well against Chennai Super Kings. KKR lost the match due to some mistakes and CSK won by only 2 runs. But it was only the opening match. The city of joy hopes Kolkata Knight Riders will rectify the errors and will play rest of the matches with more discretion. Best wishes for captain Gautam Gambhir :) -- A. B.
