The third most successful team in the Indian Premier League is placed at the 7th spot in the 16th edition of the lucrative league with 6 wins and 7 losses in a total of 13 matches. The players’ performance is the key factor in deciding the team’s position. In this article, we have covered the top 5 players of Kolkata Knight Riders who have failed substantially this season of the league.
The 27-year-old Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batsman was acquired by Knight Riders for this season of the IPL. Jagadeesan made his IPL debut in 2020 and has played for teams like Chennai. The right-hand batsman has performed below average. He has played a total of 6 matches for KKR and scored 89 minimal runs.
- Litton Das
Bangladeshi explosive opening batsman was given one chance in his debuting career in IPL. The destructive batter has failed to impress in one match he has played for his franchise. His failure in a single match kept him away from further opportunities in the league.
One of the major reasons why Knight Riders is facing blows this season is a prolonged Russel failure. The destructive batter and right-arm medium pacer is the backbone of KKR. Russel has failed to deliver good performances in both departments. He has played 13 matches so far for KKR this season and has scored some 220 runs with 7 wickets to his name.
- Shardul Thakur
The right arm medium pace bowler Shardul Thakur has appeared pretty average in this season as he has taken mere 5 wickets in a total of 10 matches he played for KKR this season of the league. Thakur has years of experience of playing in the league along with international matches under his belt.
One of the most experienced players in the Knight Riders Umesh Yadav has failed harshly in this season of the league. The right-arm fast bowler has participated in a total of 8 matches this season of the league and has been able to take a mere 1 wicket in them all. This was one of the most disastrous performances from him.
