IPL 2014: 3 things that KKR need to do better

Though KKR stand 4th on the points table, they haven't had the best start to the season and here are a few things that they can change.

#1 The batting order

In the 3 of the 5 games so far, KKR have opened with Gambhir & Kallis which seems to be a tactial mistake in quite a few ways. First of all, it looks like one anchor too many at the top together; secondly, it leaves the KKR middle order full with players like Bisla, Pandey, Pathan who don't inspire much confidence and then it does add extra bit of pressure on the middle/lower middle order to accelerate quite a bit more.

An ideal scenario for them would be to ensure that either of Gambhir or Kallis stay in the middle through the innings preferably post the first 6 overs and that they don't bat together. This should provide an opportunity for guys like Pandey, Bisla, Uthappa, Pathan to gung-ho around them and bat aggressively which they are well suited to.
