Rejuvenated by a World Cup call-up, Dinesh Karthik would be eager to impress India captain Virat Kohli and also arrest Kolkata`s three-game losing streak, when they lock horns with Bangalore in an Indian Premier League clash on Friday.


It won`t be easy for Kolkata with Andre Russell doubtful for the game against Bangalore after injuring his left shoulder during practice at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.


Russell, who is Kolkata`s leading run-getter and main hope, was hit by a bouncer from a net bowler during training and was seen writhing in pain as the support staff rushed to the ground.


Kohli has his own problems as far as Bangalore is concerned with the team all but out of the competition if they lose on Friday.


Rock-bottom in the table with just one win from eight matches, Bangalore just haven`t been in the groove this year. From the remaining six games, they would have to win all to give themselves any chance of a playoff berth.


For the visitors, Kohli would want AB de Villiers and Moeen Ali to continue their good form besides him getting back among runs.


Squads:


Kolkata: Dinesh Karthik (captain), Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, Joe Denly, Lockie Ferguson, Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, Harry Gurney, Kuldeep Yadav, Piyush Chawla, Nitish Rana, Sandeep Warrier, KC Cariappa, Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Shrikant Mundhe, Nikhil Naik, Anrich Nortje, Prithvi Raj, Prasidh Krishna.
