IPL 2018: 3 tactical changes RCB should for the game against KXIP

Modified Apr 13, 2018 15:36 IST

#1 Promoting Sarfaraz Khan up the order

When Sarfaraz Khan came out to bat in the last game, around 5 overs were remaining to be bowled. Khan's IPL career strike rate of over 160 is exceptional, but he struggled to hit the ground running from ball 1. This is understandable, as he is returning to the big stage after a long gap. The end result was that he ended up scoring just 6 runs from 10 balls, a performance that is miles apart from our perception of the pocket-sized dynamo.

To get his natural flow back, Khan should be sent up the batting order to the number 3 or at least the number 4 position, but not below that. RCB used up their retention quota on him, and he is an important member of the team. On that account, getting his rhythm back is of utmost importance to RCB.
