KKR has lost both the initial matches
Talking about KKR, it has lost both its opening matches this season. The team’s batting is not performing as per expectations. Finn Allen has not been able to do wonders till now. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has done well so far, but it is not enough. If KKR wants to make a comeback, they will have to do wonders in both the batting and bowling departments.
