Rachin Ravindra has parted ways with Kolkata Knight Riders and has returned to be part of the New Zealand side for the upcoming Test series against England.
The Kolkata Knight Riders have been officially knocked out of the competition, though mathematically they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. KKR ended their winning streak in the last game with a defeat against the defending champions, RCB.
Kolkata Knight Riders are currently eighth in the points table and have managed to win only 4 matches this season.
