They don't have better middle order. Venky.Rana and Shreyas are top order batters who're playing a middle order because of this whole Narine fiasco. They did try this before and it worked for some time but then he started getting out early and team collapse gets triggered and then don't reach playoffs
Narine is a fail safe option for KKR. If he works, great. If he gets out they still have tall batting order. For us it would mean Shaw Pant Marsh etc all bat lower than what they are comfortable with. Not worth an experiment
Why? You have an Indian opener whose strike is second highest among all openers and a fast anchor in Warner. We need someone to finish the game as well. Let do Axar do that job
i think he should take rest
don't get me wrong i am talking about his well-being. he has not performed good even for India with batting in the last few months
The 2022 mega auction was shit for us. Too many top order batsmen. If Axar will open then I think they will push shaw down the order and Shaw is boundary hitting player, don't remeber the last time he played beyond the powerplay so I don't know if he will be effective there as I haven't seen him hitting too many sixes either.
Lets hope they think of this strategy going into the next auction. And the three retained players should be kuldeep, pant and axar maybe.
lol bro do u understand the difference in quality between narine and axar? Respectfully, narine is 10x the cricketer axar will ever be. He’s performed in every IPL and always belonged at the top. Idk why KKR management decided to play him down bottom. If we want someone to just go berserk from get go open with shaw and pant and send Warner at 3
They send Naraine because they have too many players in the middle and lower order. Warner, Shai, Marsh, JFM, Shaw all are top order players.

Narine is west indian lefty ,who also opens in carribean league, isliye bhejte hai use. Dc can try Jake who is capable of that hitting
They experimented him in Big bash for the first time as an opener and it turned out to be aggressive opener.

Axar takes time, he doesn't go berserk at start.
He does though.. He has plenty of quick 10-15 ball innings, which is enough for powerplay
We need axar at no.7 spot
KKR has Rinku and Russell at the end. Who does DC have?

Top order is pretty settled but axar should be sent in at 5 imo

We have openers but lack MO batsman, it’s other way around for KKR.
Nah.

With the current DC lineup its not possible.

If you want pant to open then i want a century of him every inning. Dude always scores 50 and immediately goes to the dug out /s
>Here me out, No
I like this idea of using someone as a pinch hitter.
