Kolkata Knight Riders Reviews

Kolkata Knight Riders had lost five out of seven matches played so far. They had won just two matches and are holding the sixth position on the points table when we are writing this. After seven matches played, Kolkata Knight Riders had failed to get a good combination the batting and bowling. The batting order of this team had failed to give the best performance so far. Shubman Gill scored some runs in the previous match against Delhi Capilas but his strike rate is very low. He had scored runs on the strike rate of just above the 100 which is not enough in a tournament like IPL. Nitish Rana had also failed to put some big runs on the board in the previously played matches. Rahul Tripathi is the other batsman who had been struggling in this tournament. Eoin Morgan scored runs in a couple of early matches but he failed to open his account on the scoreboard in the most recent match. We had seen some power hitting from the bat of Andre Russell but this is not enough.

Andre Russell scored 45 runs at the strike rate of 166 runs with the help of four huge sixes and we are sure that he will continue this good form in this match. Denish Karthik and Pat Cummins also had scored some runs in the middle overs. The performance of the bowling department of Kolkata Knight Riders also had been below the line. Pat Cummins is the only bowler who had performed well in almost all previous matches. He had picked wickets and also had been the economical bowler but no other bowler had given the best performance so far. Shivam Mavi was charged for 25 runs in his just one over bowled out in the previous match against Delhi Capitals. Varun Chakravarthy and Prasidh Krishna are the other bowlers who had failed to bowl well in the previous matches. Sunil Narine also had failed to perform as many of us were hoping. We think that KKR needs to make some changes in the batting and bowling squad for the next matches.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Reviews

Royal Challengers Bangalore had broken their tradition which they had in the previous season of IPL. They had won five out of seven matches played so far and are holding the third position on the points table. The top batting order of Royal Challengers Bangalore is strong and experienced which is led by Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Glenn Maxwell, and AB de Villiers. The role of these four players had been key in the matches that they had won. If these players fail to score runs, Royal Challengers Bangalore had struggled in that matches. We also observed this in their previous match against Punjab Kings where they failed to chase the target of 180 runs due to the failure of their top batting order. Rajat Patidar had failed to score runs in the earlier matches but he put some runs in the most recent match. We saw some hard-hitting from Harshal Patel in the previous match. He scored 31 runs with a strike rate of 238 which is a good sign for RCB.

The bowling department of Royal Challengers Bangalore had been good in this tournament so far. Mohammad Siraj is leading the bowling unit of this team. He had picked early wickets and also had been the economical bowler. Harshal Patel was good with the ball in some early matches but he had failed to bowl on the right length. He had failed to pick wickets and also had proved the most expensive bowler. He leaked 53 runs in four overs bowled out and also failed to pick any wicket in the previous match against Punjab Kings. Yuzvendra Chahal is a bowler who had failed to give the best performance in almost all previously played matches. Shahbaz Ahmed had been good with the ball but he had given fewer overs to bowl. He leaked 11 runs in two overs in the previous match. Kayle Jamieson had been good with the ball. He had picked early wickets and also had been the most economical bowler. Daniel Sams was given the chance in the previous match and he performed well. He was charged for just 24 runs in his four overs and also picked one wicket.

The 30th Match of IPL T20, 2021 is going to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting in early overs. The track has a good amount of pace and bounce which allows the batsmen for the good cricketing shorts but this ground also has big boundaries which can be a plus point for the bowlers.
