3 Tactical changes which Kolkata Knight Riders should make to improve their performance

#1) Include the Under-19 World Cup stars into the playing X1

Nagarkoti might get a chance in the next game

India are the 2018 Under-19 World Cup Champions but the stars of that tournament aren't finding a place in the playing XI of their respective IPL teams. The teams bought these stars at a huge price in the auction but are unwilling to field them right away.

Kolkata Knight Riders are the team which has the maximum number of the Under-19 World Cup stars but has refrained from including these players in the XI. Karthik has preferred the experienced Vinay Kumar and Rinku Singh over Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi, and Shubman Gill.

Vinay Kumar has proved to be an expensive bowler on both the occasions and it is the right time for Karthik to give either Shivam Mavi or Kamlesh Nagarkoti a game in their next match. Rinku Singh, too, has failed on both the occasions and Shubman Gill should be given a chance to showcase his skills.

These youngsters are quality players are capable of playing at the highest level. It is better to give opportunities to players who have been earmarked for the future than giving opportunities to players who have continuously failed. Dropping Rinku Singh after just 2 failures might be a bit harsh on him but when you think that Shubman Gill is your future star, it is important for him to be given his opportunities
