Knight Riders never appeared in a position to get closer to the target thanks to the sharp bowling of Rashid Khan (2/25) and the famous Krishna (2/25).
Shubman Gill scored 90 runs and helped the Titans score a huge score of 198 runs for 3 wickets with a 58 -run partnership for the first wicket with Sai Sudarshan (52) and Jose Butler (41 not out). We made a very good comeback in the match with the ball. You expect a good opening partnership but we have to deal with it throughout the tournament. But we need to learn as soon as possible. Rahane said that the pitch was slow but believes that the score will remain between 200-210.
We have to bat well, especially in the middle overs. We need a good opening partnership, there is no complaint about our bowlers. He is doing well in every match.
KKR batsmen lost their confidence
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) coach Dwayne Bravo admitted that his batsmen lacked confidence after the fifth defeat of eight IPL matches in this season. But he refused to convict the famous Eden Gardens Pitch for the team’s plight.
KKR suffered a defeat from Gujarat Titans by 39 runs here on Monday. Talking to the media after the match, Bravo talked about the atmosphere of the dressing room and said, “IPL is a difficult competition and when you don’t start well, you know that the batsmen go through a period where their confidence is staggering.” This is happening now. As I said, we should continue their support and hope that they will perform well. There is a lack of confidence in our batsmen at this time, which is why they are not able to score runs. Good form brings confidence and honestly, we do not have that confidence.
