Dinesh Karthik's captaincy has been unimpressive so far. Not only he is sticking with failed players, he is also sidelining performing players such as Lockie Ferguson. And the less talked about his batting, that much better. Today he made 4 runs from 14 balls. Earlier I was thinking that Kedar Jadhav was the slowest batsman in this IPL. Karthik is giving him tough competition.
Dinesh Karthik handed over the captaincy to Eoin Morgan when they lost to RCB on Oct 12, the team picks are done by the management if i am not wrong and they have some injury concerns in their camp as well. When it comes to form Dinesh Karthik is struggling but we could give him a pass today as everyone struggled.
In middle, I have enjoyed some matches of KKR. and the performance also enough good. But today's match is ridiculous. And some are blaming Dinesh Kartik only. But I will not blame on Kartik. Most of KKR players are playing bad. None can give the performances like previous years. what the reason actually? Maybe they were not mentally prepared to play IPL in this year due to Covid 19?
The Covid bubble can be a reason for their performance but the main reason i see is that their big players have not delivered, they still are not settled with the proper team combination and they only included Lockie Ferguson in the last match and he showed his class and helped the team win the match. If they can pick the best combination then they will perform as a team as they have the talents.
