Change at the top; fails
In search of a quick start, KKR changed their opening combination. While they opened with Finn Allen and Sunil Narine in the last game, they opted to bring in Tim Seifert into the XI. Ajinkya Rahane restored himself at the top of the order.
The move did not yield the expected results. Rahane was dismissed for a golden duck. Raghuvanshi was dismissed for 8, while Tim Seifert also was gone cheaply.
