One of the most inconsistent performances has come from the KKR team in the ongoing season, wherein they have not trusted their experienced players and have involved more than 20 players in the playing XI. In the last fixture, they made five changes, which depicts instability in the team.

In the first game of the past week, they faced LSG and conceded 176 on the board, with Andre Russell picking two wickets. In the batting department, Russell contributed 45 off 19 balls, but the team lost by a big margin of 75 runs.

In the second outing, they secured a victory by 52 runs against Mumbai Indians. KKR scored 165 on the board with 40+ scores from Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana. Then Pat Cummins and Andre Russell won the game for the team by picking three and two wickets respectively.
