Kolkata Knight Riders was the runner-up team of IPL 2021. The team, led by Eoin Morgan, did not perform well in the beginning, but later made it to the playoffs after winning consecutive matches and then traveled to the final. At the same time, this time Shreyas Iyer is the captain of the team and the condition of KKR is very critical. Kolkata have played their 9 matches, but one lapse can throw the team out of the race for the playoffs.
Actually, Kolkata’s team got a good start in IPL 2022. The team had won three out of the first four matches, but after that, Kolkata had to face defeat in five consecutive matches. Now the team has only 5 matches left and if the team loses a single match in these remaining five matches, then the team will not be able to reach 16 points. In this situation, KKR will be almost out of the race for the IPL 2022 playoffs.
Currently, KKR have only 6 points in their account and the team is at number 8 in the points table of IPL 2022. The net run rate of the team is also not that good. In such a situation, the team will not only have to win the remaining matches, but also have to win by a big margin or else bat later and win the match quickly. If seen, KKR is not getting the right combination. The biggest problem has been seen with the opening pair.
