IPL 2023: Rating all 10 teams based on their performances thus far
IPL 2022 runners-up Rajasthan Royals (RR) are sitting at the top of the points table after more than two weeks of action.
6. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)- 7/10
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have participated in this year’s tournament without their regular skipper Shreyas Iyer. In their captain’s unavailability, Nitish Rana was given the reins of the team, and so far, he has led the team from the front with his spectacular batting shows.
However, their regular opener and wicket-keeper batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz has failed to deliver ferocious starts with the bat. Along with the Afghan player, one of their oldest stalwarts Andre Russell is also going through an awful form. The Caribbean player hasn’t delivered anything solid to his team either with bat or ball.
In the bowling department, pacers haven’t showcased their best as their speedsters Umesh Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, and Shardul Thakur have struggled to dominate batters. Talking about some positive points, some spunky performances from their lower-order batters have helped them rack up four points with a couple of triumphs.
