IPL 2017: KKR vs GL, 5 things that went wrong for Kolkata Knight Riders

#1 Poor bowling of KKR

Sunil Narine was much more effective with the bat than the ball against GL

KKR boasts of a formidable bowling line up and bringing in Shakib al Hasan into the team only made it stronger, but none of the KKR bowlers was at their best. They lacked consistency and were unable to stop the flow of runs throughout. Sunil Narine performed better with the bat than the ball and was taken for 42 runs in his 4 overs.

The other bowlers were not spared as well – Shakib, Woakes and Coulter-Nile were all left with an economy rate of more than 10. Gambhir might have begun with spin against McCullum and Finch but it proved to be quite ineffective.

KKR will have to put this poor result behind and try to continue with their good form and are still second in the points table.
