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

#3 Use the Overseas Players effectively

Delport should be brought into the Playing X1

KKR have found it difficult to find the right combination of overseas players. They have tried out Johnson, Curran and Searles in their fourth overseas player slot but none of them has made an impact.

Curran and Johnson were dropped from the side after a string of poor performances. Searles was brought in as their replacement but he hasn't been utilised effectively by Dinesh Karthik as the skipper has managed to extract the 20 overs from the other bowlers.

In such a situation, KKR could look at alternatives to Searles as he has bowled just 6 overs in 3 matches and his absence wouldn't cost the team much. KKR can rather bring in Delport who is an all-rounder and help the team with his batting if the inexperienced batting line-up fails in a crunch situation, which will be an added advantage that he can offer.
