The Rajkot-based Lions, who began their first IPL season with six wins out of seven matches, have now lost three back-to-back matches against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The Suresh Raina-led side, who are now placed on the second spot on the IPL 2016 points table, are looking to re-gain their winning touch against KKR.

The Shahrukh Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, are at the top of eight-team standings with six wins out of nine games. 

"We want to play as a champion team. We will try and take one game at a time. First let us qualify for the play offs and then let us see where we finish. Gujarat is No.2, so it will be a good contest. We have taken a learning from last year, hopefully won't repeat the mistakes," KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir said in a pre-match press briefing.
