Kolkata are currently witnessing their worst start to a season in 14 years. They lost their opening match against Mumbai Indians (MI) and then suffered a 65-run defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Their recent match against Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens was abandoned due to rain after a poor batting start.
Their top order collapsed against the Punjab Kings fast bowlers. The home team was struggling at 25 for two within just 3.4 overs before the umpires stopped play. Such poor reading of weather and pitch conditions raises serious questions about leadership.
No Clarity Over Player Roles And Combinations In Playing XI, And Poor Results
The Kolkata Knight Riders management has shown no clarity regarding their playing combinations. The inclusion of Cameron Green has created confusion within the squad. Green has not been cleared to bowl by Cricket Australia, yet he is being selected purely as a batter despite poor performances.
It is worth mentioning that Rahane led the team to an eighth-place finish last season with just five wins. KKR have lost their first two matches for the first time since the 2012 season, showing that the current player roles are not working.
Ajinkya Rahane’s Public Reactions Adding to Pressure Situation; Abhishek Nayar Not Head Coach Material
Abhishek Nayar has also failed to show the authority needed for a successful head coach. A franchise like Kolkata Knight Riders needs a tactically strong leader to handle pressure. Nayar has not been able to protect his players from media scrutiny or build a winning culture in the dressing room.
