KKR’s Performance Without Abhishek Nayar

So far in this IPL season, KKR’s performance has not lived up to the standards set in last year’s tournament. They have experienced more defeats than victories, having played 7 matches with 3 wins and 4 losses. A key factor contributing to their struggles is their inconsistent bowling line-up. Most of their losses have been by significant margins, except for the matches against LSG, where Lucknow won by 4 runs, and against PBKS, where Punjab secured victory by 16 runs.
