KKR vs RR Live: KKR opening combination FLOPS yet again, fails to cross 20-run mark in FIVE consecutive matches
Kolkata Knight Riders have tried out every possible combination to perfect their opening pair but none of the combinations have worked off late. With Venkatesh Iyer being dropped and Baba Indrajit promoted to the opening slot, KKR hoped that this combination would work.
Much to the horror of the KKR board, trouble fell soon as Finch departed when KKR’s score was just 16 runs on the board. Such has been the disastrous form of KKR that for the past 5 games straight the team has failed to cross a 20-run partnership from the opening pair.
