Nitish Rana has been batting well for the side. Whereas Gill and Tripathi have played some handy cameos with the bat. The bowling looks strong with the likes of Pat Cummins, Andre Russel, and Varun Chakravarthy.

KKR has been trying all kinds of permutation and combinations to find a winning formula but that’s not happening.

Some players have to definitely show their class for KKR to come through this crisis.

Pet Cummins one of the best fast bowler.

Rana began with a classic 80 against SunRisers Hyderabad as KKR registered a win in the very first match. His dismissal against Mumbai Indians was crucial and Rana needs to find a balance where his aggression is matched with patience.

Morgan is way too good a batsman to produce just 38 runs in three innings. So it is a matter of time when he begins firing. Sooner the better for KKR.
