For the Kolkata Knight Riders, this IPL season looks like the end of nowadays. No one would have thought that the two-time IPL winner will have to struggle to win the match in the middle of the tournament. The team of KKR had done this with an aggressive start of this edition of the Indian Premier League and had a spectacular win against last year's runners-up team Sunrises Hyderabad. And after that, he had won four of his five matches. However, in his travels, there was no further truth.
The team dropped off the track of victory and is now struggling to make the place in the playoffs. The Kolkata team has consistently lost in their last five matches and the team has remained on the sixth position in the table. With only 4 wins in 10 matches, now the Knight Riders team will have to win all the remaining matches to make the place in the playoffs. The franchise has taken an interesting decision in such a way that the team could perform well in the other matches.
The franchisee of Kolkata Knight Riders has ousted skipper Dinesh Karthik and senior batsman Robin Uthappa from the team for a few days to stay away from the cricketing races and return with a good rhythm. Both of them have decided to visit Mumbai between the eyes of the mentor Abhishek Nayar, the Knight Riders. Along with Karthik and Uthappa, Kolkata has also broken the wicketkeeper Nikhil Nayak and fast bowler Srikant Munde and Prithviraj.
The last 5 matches for the team of Kolkata Knight Riders have been very bad. At this time, Kolkata's team moved to number 6 on the points table. Kolkata team captain Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa, and three others along with them have taken some days from the rest team before the match against Rajasthan Royals.
Apart from Dinesh Karthik and Robin Uthappa, wicketkeeper-batsman Nikhil Naik, Srikanth Munde, and Prithviraj Yara have also taken rest. At this time, the Kolkata team needs to win all the remaining matches to go in the playoffs.
Karthik and Uthappa are not in the form
| Dinesh Karthik |
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Dinesh Karthik is going through a very bad form in this IPL. Dinesh Karthik has played just 10 matches in this IPL, scoring just 117 runs, including a half-century.
Performance of Kolkata's experienced player Robin Uthappa remains a matter of concern. Uthappa has scored 220 runs in this IPL so far, but his strike-rate is only 119.56, which is a matter of concern for the team.
The slow innings played by them against Bangalore also led to the defeat of the team. Because of which he was also out of the team.
Uthappa and Kartik's disappointing performance
| Robin Uthappa |
Both Uthappa and Karthik have struggled to bat according to their reputation, which is a reason behind the mid-season crunch of Kolkata Knight Riders this year. Karthik has scored 117 runs in 10 matches with a half-century of 16.71 average. On the other hand, Uthappa scored 220 runs in nine innings of 31.42 with a half-century in an innings. In fact, Uthappa was dropped from the playing eleven for the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad following a poor performance against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Mumbai Indians also got 4-day rest
In addition to these two players, wicketkeeper Nikhil Naik and bowler Prithviraj Yara played the same match for the Kolkata team. Fast bowler Srikkanth Munde did not play a single match in this season for his team.

In addition to these Kolkata players, the Mumbai Indians team has given all their players 4 days of comfort to all their players before the match against Chennai Super Kings.
In the meantime, Naik and Raj have played each match and Munde has yet to make his debut in this season. The Kolkata Knight Riders' next game is against Thursday (April 25th) Rajasthan Royals.
