KOLKATA : With KKR moving into the IPL play-off stage, the city’s cafes, lounges and restaurants are readying to serve the cricket lovers and foodies with lip-smacking dishes themed on the teams and the game.
“We will have Special KKR Dessert apart from Square Cut Chicken Pizza,” the owner of popular hangout cafe ‘What’s Up’ said.
“Besides there will be Square Drive Polo Con as well as Gayle’s Calypso Chicken,” he said.
The patrons, a large number of them from Generation Next, will watch the matches on a giant LED display board on the terrace. To keep up with the the atmosphere waiters will be dressed in jerseys of the IPL teams, while the interiors will have cut-outs and team flags.
Other popular restaurants and cafes like ‘Smokeshack’, ‘Park Plaza’ are ready to keep pace with their innovatively-named creations like ‘Bravo’, ‘The Champion’, ‘Return of Pieterson’, ‘Gauti’s Grit’, ‘Warner’s Attack’, ‘McCullum’s Aura’. All these are combos and comprise liquor.

Mahmood Alam, the owner of rooftop cafe ‘The Shack Lounge’, said, “There will be some spins to our regular Italian, Mexican and Lebanese cuisine and a new American section with cricket reference which the guests can discover from the IPL semi-final day.”
The cafe has been done up with cardboard cutouts of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir in their team attires and a cheering SRK from the Eden stands in KKR’s purple and gold outfit. (AGENCIES)

Mumbai face Gujarat in do-or-die clash

KANPUR : Nothing but a win will keep their play-off hopes alive as defending champions Mumbai Indians take on Gujarat Lions in a do-or-die battle, which will be their final IPL league match, here tomorrow.
With seven wins in 13 matches, Mumbai are currently placed fifth, tied on 14 points with Royal Challengers Bangalore (3rd) and Kolkata Knight Riders (4th) — both having better net run-rate with one match to go.
A loss tomorrow will knock them out of the race for play-offs and Mumbai will hope to pull the rug from under the feet of the Lions this time after suffering a defeat during their home leg on April 16.
Gujarat, on the other hand, are at the second spot with 16 points from 13 matches and a victory will seal their play-off berth.
However, a slip-up will keep the door open for the other teams to sneak in at the last moment and the IPL debutantes will be eager to avoid any such situation after doing all the hard work this season.
Two-time champions, Mumbai have failed to build a winning momentum this season and all their victories have been mostly followed by losses.
A massive 80-run win against Delhi Daredevils in their last outing on May 15 has boosted Mumbai’s confidence and they would want to carry on the momentum this time.
Mumbai have depended on captain Rohit Sharma and Ambati Rayudu to score bulk of the runs this season though it was young all-rounder Krunal Pandhya’s 37-ball 86 which did the trick for them in their last match.
Jos Butler and Kieron Pollard will be the other batters who will look to step up and perform in tomorrow’s match, which otherwise might turn out to be Mumbai’s last appearance this season.
In bowling, seamer Mitchell McClenaghan have led the attack well with 17 wickets in 13 matches and remains the top wicket-taker this season. He has been supported well by Jasprit Bumrah with 14 scalps. (AGENCIES)
