IPL 2018: 4 things KKR need to do to end their struggles

#4 Find a stable third seam bowling option

Tom Curran needs to get a longer run in the starting XI for KKR

KKR’s strategy of having a rotating third seam bowling option in Tom Curran and Mitchell Johnson has not provided rich rewards for the team. They have fielded Curran in four games while Johnson made the cut in the remaining three. Johnson, especially, has been ineffective with his worrisome tally of two wickets, which have come at an extravagant average of 51.

Curran has the best average of 17 among the proper bowling options that the KKR set up has. He has also picked up five wickets from his four appearances in the tournament. KKR will do good to themselves by giving him a long and stable run in the starting XI while Johnson ponders over the reasons for his failure in the comforts of the backend.
