IPL 2018: 5 reasons why KKR is not ‘Taiyaar’ to make it to the playoffs

#4 Inconsistent Batting

Nitish Rana has been the most consistent batsman for KKR so far

With Lynn and Sunil Narine opening the batting, there are doubts that the two can give consistent starts throughout the tournament. An early wicket puts pressure on Robin Uthappa and Nitish Rana to perform every time they come to bat. In case Russell is also ruled out due to injury, there will be a huge gap in the middle order. Karthik will also have to use Shubman Gill in a better position as the youngster has failed to accelerate at the death. The problem is that the bench strength isn’t as strong as they would have liked in order to make those changes.
