On such a good wicket failing to chase down a modest total is only going to make things difficult for KKR in the coming matches. Nothing seems to be going right---neither gelling..no team balance...no nothing ! Question is if KKR are selecting the best team according to the need of the hr as being claimed by the Ex-VC of India ? Playing Sunil Narain at a good batting wicket a Jaipur but not playing him at slow turning Home wkt. certainly raises that question.It seems as if T20 cricket is all slam -bang..bang cricket ....just pack the top half with Mcullum....Das..Pathan...and match will be won is it? Or even T20 innings needs planning depending upon the surface, the conditions, the opposition bowling and so on..of a steady cricket at various stages of the games.. say after 6 over,10..15...and the final 5 overs assault. In fact the way Mccllum heaves his bat wildly with eyes wide shut right from the first ball it seems he is going to make all the runs for rest of team also and within 5-6 over’s !Or else how does one explain almost the entire team getting bowled out in 12 over’s in the first match ? As far as Yusuf Pathan is concerned, consistency is certainly not a virtue for him. Add to that top order failing exposing him to additional pressure. Further, benching Shakib-ul-Hasan who is in form of his life handedly hardly makes any sense. Is KKR back to the agonizing times of Ist three IPL ?
Let this arrogant a**hole keep on giving excuses...before blaming others he should know how to score atleast 20~30 runs. Anyways good to see these kkrs getting beaten again and again :)
owned by a traitor... after every loss and losses will be many for kkr... they will keep blaming one thing or the other... and when they will be totally out of possibility to make it to final four then their lowlife owner will speak blaming whole team...
There were many eyebrows raised when Gambhir was ignored and Kohli was selected as vice-captain of Team India.. but honestly speaking, Gambhir is a very talented batsman.. but he isn't a great leader which obviously can be seen during KKR matches, when he gets easily frustrated on bowlers and fielders... which does not motivate any player..

He is just having a bad day and a very bad franchise who does not believe in its players (threw out Ganguly and played politics so that Ganguly does not play IPL) .. He will start clicking soon.. Needs a little time and proper team selection.. Not playing Shakib is really bad
