The legendary opener has openly questioned Powell’s place in the playing XI. He felt that Powell had not contributed enough and KKR should now look at other options like Tim Seifert. Sehwag stressed that the New Zealand batter can play at number three if needed.

He also slammed Vaibhav Arora’s performance against RCB as the pacer conceded 48 runs in four overs and failed to take a wicket. Sehwag believes that KKR must try either Umran Malik or Navdeep Saini in the remaining three games in the tournament.
The cricket pundit also feels KKR can change the batting order. Sehwag added, “It is not necessary that Seifert should open; he can be played at No. 3 as well. They can consider sending Raghuvanshi at No. 4, or Ajinkya Rahane can come in at No. 3; that can also be done.”
Rohan Gavaskar gives a brutal reality check on KKR’s IPL 2026 Playoff chances
Meanwhile, former KKR cricketer Rohan Gavaskar admitted that the franchise’s IPL 2026 playoff hopes are now almost out of their hands. He noted that even if Kolkata manage to win all their remaining matches, qualification will still depend heavily on other results going in their favor.
Gavaskar said during the same discussion, “What can you even say to the team at this point? Their first half did not go well. Although they are mathematically still in the playoffs race, for practical purposes, their qualification is not in their hands. It would have been better if their matches were against the teams placed above them. So, here, even if they keep winning, the teams above might also keep winning, so 15 points might not be enough.”
