Brian Lara makes interesting points
Brian Lara on KKR problems: “Captaincy was a never a problem for KKR. Sunil Narine won them a couple of matches with his bowling while defending a total so he needs to get that (his action) sorted out,” Lara said on Star Sports.
“Andre Russell needs to get runs, anybody can captain a team. I think they have put more pressure on themselves now, the camera is on them, they’ve had a change of captain, something is happening in the camp which is not right. That’s just the worst defeat for KKR that I’ve seen,” Lara added. READ MORE

“Shubman Gill has had many opportunities and now the time has come for KKR to tell him to be a bit more aggressive in the powerplay and if can’t, bring him down in the batting order and send someone else up. If you are to win, the start needs to be good. If the foundation is not laid properly, you can’t build a solid innings on it,” Virender Sehwag told Cricbuzz.

Hello and welcome to another our live blog on yet another Indian Premier League 2020 contest between a struggling Kolkata Knight Riders team and a wounded Sunrisers Hyderabad team. The IPL 2020 season has seen its fair share of twists and turns, but SRH’s defeat at the hands of RR last week, was perhaps, one of the best most unexpected results of the season. SRH had the match won, but then they lost it out of nowhere. The defeat against CSK have further hurt SRH’s chances of climbing up the table, but a win over KKR will just do that for David Warner & co.
