IPL 2018: 4 things KKR need to do to end their struggles
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) surprised everybody when they won their opening fixture against a power-packed Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) because everybody believed that they didn’t have the best of the IPL auctions earlier this year. That win over RCB raised expectations from the team. Two loses against Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad derailed their campaign but they recovered quickly with two back to back wins against Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals. Just when they looked to gather steam for a successful run they were jolted some serious blows by Gayle-storm and Rahul-attack in their fixture against Kings XI Punjab, which was followed by a murderous assault by Shreyas Iyer that led to their capitulation against Delhi.
So, after beginning their campaign on a promising note they suddenly find themselves struggling with four losses from seven games, two of which have come in their last two fixtures. Here, we take a look at four things that they need to do to turn around their wobbling campaign.
