IPL 2018: 3 Tactical Changes which KKR need to make in the Playoffs

#2 Dinesh Karthik should bat higher in the batting order

Dinesh has been one of the players of the tournament

Dinesh Karthik is one of the most improved batsmen in recent years. He always had an abundance of talent and was considered as one of the most talented players that India had, but his temperament was a problem earlier.

The KKR captain has worked on that aspect, and in the last 2-3 years, he has completely transformed into a different player. He was extremely impressive in the Nidadhas trophy and he has continued his brilliant form in the IPL as well.

He is KKR's most important batsman and it is therefore important for him to bat higher in the batting order in the playoff stage. He has been coming at number 5 in the batting order, with Rana coming to bat at number 4.

While Rana has been successful at number 4 it is important for the KKR skipper to take the responsibility to bat at number 4 in the next three games as he has scored the maximum number of runs despite batting lower down, and he would have an enormous impact on KKR's chances if he bats higher up.
