IPL 2020: Batting woes keeping KKR behind

Khurram Habib Abu Dhabi, Oct 22 : If Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are not yet among the top two in points table in the ongoing IPL season, they have their batting to blame.
The franchise, which is still fourth on the points table, finished with 84 for eight against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday night, losing the match by eight wickets.
It was yet another disappointing show from the batting line-up which has managed to cross the 150-run mark just once in the last four matches.
KKR’s top batsmen have failed miserably in getting good individual scores, and it is evident from the stats.
No team has as few half-centuries as KKR have – six. No one batsman has led the way for them unlike in most other teams.
Opener Shubman Gill, on whom a lot depended, has just two fifties from 10 matches. His strike rate has taken a hit over the last few games too, going below 100 in those games, and forcing him to throw his wicket away.
