New Delhi: After the loss of Delhi Capital to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, Mentor Kevin Peterson said he had gone to a slow and low surface to combat the strength of his opponents and placed a similar strategy for the upcoming Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday.
On Tuesday evening at Arun Jaitley Stadium, both teams will use the fifth pitch, which is in the center, so there will not be a small side to target the batsmen. And given how KKR is batting in this IPL season, he needs a large -scale overhaul to count.
KKR has scored a minimum amount of this IPL season (109), while his sixes (61) are the second worst. Only Chennai Super Kings hit this season (49) at least.
He has scored 1245 runs this season – the lowest in 10 franchisees. His average is 23.49 lowest. He scored in 8.88 per over, the second worst. Again, CSK has performed poor in comparison (8.06).
Who is that IPL player?
Personally, there is a Gulf between top scorer Ajinkya Rahane (271 runs) and second largest scorer Angakrishna Raghuvanshi (197 runs) Sunil Narin (151 runs) and Quinton de Koke (143 runs), Venkatesh Year (135 runs).
Problems with batting start very high. Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narin have been a regular choice for the last two matches with exceptions made for Narin-Mahamanullah Gurbaz once and twice for Moen Ali-Day Cock.
D Coke, who was missing from the KKR NETS season on Monday, and Narin scored only 109 runs in six matches this season. His highest partnership has been only 46 runs, with an average of 18.16 runs and 9.90 runs.

Will KKR’s batting improve against DC after his recent struggles?
Only CSK (19.77 )’s KKR (19.87), and their upcoming opponents, is the lowest average in the order of this IPL season as compared to DC (24.22).
When the franchise was examined about Andre Russell’s under-anticion, Harshit Rana also mentioned the team’s batting. “This is cricket. It goes up and down. If you win two games in a row, if our batsman [batters] Perform well in two sports, then you will start saying that KKR’s batting is long. So it goes on, “he said.
KKR’s efforts to help in their batting shows will fulfill the difficult resistance from the opposite camp. On a dull pitch on Sunday, DC Skipper Axar Patel took two wickets despite finding some support from others.
Pacer Michelle Starc, who became a wicket -free against RCB, will also be eager to make life difficult for his former team. Kuldeep Yadav will be a challenge to work in the middle over thanks to his misleading googly.
Exer, Vipraj Nigam and Kuldeep DC can be inter-producer if the track record of KKR is an indication this season. He has lost 21 wickets for spinners this season, in which the bowlers have achieved a strike rate of 17.00 – best among 10 teams.
With not inspiring the batsmen with great confidence, the bowlers will be on the bowlers to push the team towards the finish line. Harshit Rana, Varun Chakarwarthi, Vaibhav Arora (11 wickets are the pick of each) bowlers, while Narin has been a well -organized customer with an economy rate of 7.75.
KKR still has a chance to qualify for the playoffs, with seven points in the season and 10 in the remaining five matches. But after grabbing just one point in the last three matches, Ajinkya Rahane -led franchise needs to pull his socks or prepare for early exit. The road at that end begins against the capitals of Delhi.
