Maybe but he played the shot of the game for me.. That little stand up flick splitting deep midwicket and wide long-on was just pristine timing.
That no.3 should be a floating position imo depending on the situation of the game

Putting DDP in this game was fine because it was a low target. But if you are chasing bigger scores or setting a target, don't think he's got that hitting ability. A bit like Sundar but atleast Sundar bowls some off-spin. Might as well play Krunal at #3

Patidar at #4 seems ideal though.

You are overthinking it. He is not the best but he is a fine batsman and he wil be ok at #3.

KKR look super bad this year. Batting looks weak af.

Good win but there are far better sides out there who will be a bigger challenge.

I don't think this team can win the title with Suyash and Krunal as your spinners. Plus one too many Englishmen in this team.

Livingstone, Salt, Kohli, Bethell etc almost half the side. Led by an English management and a former England coach. Doesn't bode well for this team.
 
To further expand on the Krunal vs Varun interaction…I wanna knock on broadcasters who show ‘highlights’ of the game.

As protracted as the game is already, it would be great to add some context into the game…show me the story to how the wicket was taken instead of only the wicket. Give me the setup.

End rant

200 in 14 overs

That's wild

Would be a big failure if this team doesn't win at least one IPL title in the next few years

They stacked af. They now have a young Indian batting core as well. Something to build on for the next half a decade at least.
