Kolkata Knight Riders Aim to Be Steadier After Understanding What Went Wrong: Bowling Coach Bharat Arun

According to the Kolkata Knight Riders’ bowling coach Bharat Arun, the team has understood where they went wrong after enduring a hat-trick of losses before the halfway stage, and will be significantly “steadier” for the remaining IPL 2023. The team has slipped to eighth place in the 10-team standings and made four changes in their match against Delhi Capitals but still ended up losing.

The team has tried out different opening combinations through the season, but Arun believes they have found their best combination through the first half of IPL, and now they are going to back them in the rest of the tournament. However, Arun admitted that they need to improve their powerplay batting and bowling and step up in those areas.

Their pace bowling department has been a letdown so far, but Arun is confident that they will come back with better performance in the future. He acknowledged that every team is coming hard in the Powerplays this IPL and targeting their fast bowlers, but he believes they have understood where they went wrong and are working on improvements.

Arun is not worried about the form of Shardul Thakur and Umesh Yadav, claiming that they will try to stop the run feast that is taking place in the powerplay and that Umesh had bowled brilliantly in the first two games. The team is focused on improving their performances in the upcoming matches and making a comeback in the tournament.

Athiya Shetty Accompanies KL Rahul at Ekana Stadium Ahead of CSK Clash

When the KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) play the defending champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday at Ekana Stadium, they’ll be looking to snap their losing run following two straight losses. LSG has been on a two-game losing run after they had a great start to the season, winning three of their first four games. They lost by six wickets to Delhi Capitals in the first game, and then they were destroyed by Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets, which put an end to their momentum.

Prior to the subsequent match, Athiya Shetty, Rahul’s spouse, was observed at the Lucknow Ekana Stadium during an LSG training session.

Rahul’s teammates joined him on Thursday to celebrate his 32nd birthday. To wish her husband well, the cricketer’s wife posted a message on Instagram.

The caption said, “Happy birthday, my everything, my whole heart for my whole life.”In their previous two games, the two clubs experienced very different outcomes. LSG, captained by KL Rahul, has suffered a mini-slump with consecutive losses, while Ruturaj Gaikwad’s club, still “marshalled” by the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is entering the match on a winning streak.

It will be interesting to see how LSG responds to an assault in which every bowler contributes a different skill set, as their batting lineup, while potent, does not exactly inspire the greatest degree of confidence.

Even the captain, KL Rahul, hasn’t been playing at his best lately (204 runs at 138 SR), and his safe starts have done more harm than good. It appears that Ayush Badoni, who is still young, is competing for a spot in the team. With 19 sixes in six games, Nicholas Pooran is the only player who has looked dangerous.

A loss would force LSG even lower in the standings, while CSK will want to solidify their position with what might be their fifth victory.
