Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Strength Middle order- Russell, DK, Morgan....as scary as any Good Indian bowling option with solid backups Good spin attack- Narine, Shakib, VArun, Bhajji, Kuldeep Morgan the captain Weakness Lacks firepower in Top 3 Rana n tripathi will be batting in top 3 and they many weaknesses but then again in t20 u can get away Lack of experience in Indian fast bowling Kuldeep form Lack of good Indian batting options Narine becoming Cummins isnt great at death, Lockie not at start Opportunity For DK to claim the spot in indian t20 side Same for Rana and gill Prasidh to go on next level Mavi n nagarkotti to pay off faith shown by KKR Shakib to announce his return Morgan to own IPL Threat Russell fitness DK batting spot Gill's Start Varun.C second season test Russell weakness was found last season Game Plan Plan A Plan B 1 Rana Seifert 2 Gill Gill 3 Shakib Rana 4 Russell Russell 5 Morgan Morgan 6 DK DK 7 Cummins Cummins 8 Mavi Mavi 9 Prasidh Prasidh 10 Varun. c Varun. c 11 Venkatesh iyer/ Bhajji/ Kuldeep/ Nagarkotti Venkatesh iyer/ Bhajji/ Kuldeep/ Nagarkotti Cricspin, Mariyam, saik and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Drive Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Gill is big problem at top of the order unless he starts treating IPL as a T20 game rather than as ODI. His strike rate (117) was like Rahane or probably even worse . KKR tried hitter in Banton but he failed in conditions very different to him. Too add to opening issues of Gill, Tripathi joined Gill by playing at below par strike rate of 127. I am surprised with Baz in the camp how is he allowing such mediocre approach by top order batsmen in power plays. Pace bowling is a worry. Only 36 wickets were taken by pace attack comprising of Cummins, Prasidh, Mavi, Fergusson , Nagarkoti and Warrier. Pacers need to drastically improve their wicket taking performance this time.

SK_IH Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hope to see Venkat Iyer opening alongside Gill. Morgan & Baz should back this young duo this year to deliver. There is enough batting depth to make amends in case of failures. Also Vaibhav Arora looks good, should definitely get a chance. Most importantly I am looking forward to Kuldeep getting back in the reckoning. I have my doubts about Varun's success this year, batsmen will come out prepared.

Scarface Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 KKR look the team to beat this season.Morgan using Cummins against Bairstow to break the game open was superb - one of the best T20 captains going around. GeeGaw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonix768 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Wow. KKR is getting progressively worse. No one seems to have hunger for victory. Everyone moves mechanically in the ground. No intent in batting as well. They need to drop has beens like Narine / Sakhib and play other foreigners in the squad. Russel is eternally unfit. If they are not going to drop him, at least use him in powerplay where ball is coming to bat nicely even in slow pitches. Gill better improve his batting in powerplay. Or could come middle order and open with Tripathi. From hindsight, KKR seemed to do well under DK captaincy than under Morgan captaincy. Even last season from first 7 games they were 4-3 under DK. Had a good 2018 season finished 3rd. 2019 also would have been great, if not for the internal rifts that halted them for 6 games on the trot.

poi Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Morgan’s rather lucky WC overestimated his actual ability and that seems to have run its due course. nevada and GeeGaw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Realist Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Morgan is old and past it. A flukey WC win seems to have covered off the fact that he has always been mediocre. Rest of team lacks quality & full of average bits n pieces players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Cue for Morgan to cite bubble fatigue and leave IPL by end of next week. DK to take over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
