NEW DELHI: If there is one team in the IPL which knows how to win crunch moments, it is Kolkata Knight Riders . Gambhir handed KKR a good start in pursuit of that stiff total, but the rest of the top order failed. A balanced campaign that lacked spark at the crucial junctures.Coach Jacques Kallis and Gambhir will need to reinforce the middle order to ease some pressure off the openers. Shakib Al Hasan is a reliable batsman, an established top-order batsman if you may, and he should be given the responsibility of holding the middle order, rather than using him as a lower-order slogger. With Russell ruled out of the tournament owing to a leg injury, the KKR lower order lacked power.
