New -Delhi: After Delhi Capitals against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday the loss of Royal Challengers, Mentor Kevin Pietersen said that they had a slow and low surface of the strength of their opponents and organized a similar strategy for the upcoming Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday.
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday evening, the two teams will use fifth place in the middle, so that the battery cannot give a shorter page. And given the fact that KKR struck this IPL season, you need a massive overhaul to count it.

KKR has achieved the slightest amount of limits in this IPL season (109), while her six (61) is the second worst. Only Chennai Super Kings met less maximum this season (49).
You have achieved 1245 runs this season – the lowest total number among the 10 franchise companies. Their average of 23.49 is the lowest. You achieved the second smell at 8.88 Pro over over. Again, CSK went poorer in comparison (8.06).
Who is this IPL player?
Individually there is a golf between the top goal scorer Ajinkya Rahane (271 runs) and the second highest goal scorer Angkrish Raghuvanshi (197 Runs) with Sunil Narine (151 runs) and Quinton de Kock (143 runs), Venkatesh Iyer (135 runs), all fights.
The problems with the stroke begin at the top. Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine were the regular pairs of elections for Moeen Ali-de Kock for Narine-Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the last two games.
De Kock, who was missing on Monday in the KKR Nets meeting, and Narine produced only 109 runs in six games this season. Their highest partnership was only 46 runs, with the runs reaching an average of 18.16 and a run rate of 9.90.

Only CSK (19.77) has a lower average in this IPL season as KKR (19.87) and their upcoming opponents, DC (24.22).
When Harshit Rana was examined for Andre Russell’s undermining about the franchise, he also mentioned the team’s eyelash. “This is cricket. It goes up and down. If you win two games in a row, when our strikers (battery) cut off well in two games, you will say that KKRS Wimper is long. So it goes on,” he explained.
KKR’s attempts to help her impact show will meet the opposite camp of hard resistance. DC Skipper Axar Patel recorded two gates on a sluggish field on Sunday, although he found little support from others.
Pacer Mitchell Starc, who was against RCB without a Wicket, will also be interested in making life difficult for his former team. Thanks to its misleading Googlies, Kuldeep Yadav will be a challenge to work in the middle.
Axar, Vipraj Nigam and Kuldeep could be the differentiators for DC if KKR success records are a hint this season. You have lost 21 gates to Spinner this season, with the bowler reaching a hit rate of 17.00 – preferably among the 10 teams.

Since the battery does not inspire much self -confidence, responsibility will be the bowlers to push the team into a finish line. Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora (11 Wicket each) was the selection of the bowlers, while Narine was a decent customer with an economic rate of 7.75.
With seven points so far offered in season and 10 in the remaining five games, KKR still has a chance to qualify for the playoffs. After the franchise led by Ajinkya Rahane has only grabbed one point in the last three games, she has to pull her socks up or prepare for an early exit. The street to this end begins against the Delhi capitals.
