Going into IPL-15, Kolkata Knight Riders had one of the most balanced squads, with quality internationals, talented domestic players and a number of proven match winners in the T20 format. It’s quite a surprise therefore to see them in the bottom half of the table with slim hopes of making the play-offs.
And one of the major factors that have contributed to KKR’s failure is their performance in the Powerplay overs with both bat and ball. They have struggled to get a good start throughout the tournament, and Saturday’s outing at the MCA Stadium here against Lucknow Super Giants was no different.
