After the match, former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson discussed the performances of Philip Salt and Sunil Narine. KKR captain Shreyas Iyer had a special conversation on Match Center Live. Iyer said, ‘Actually it is going well, because the think-tank is very big. Everyone’s input in analyzing wickets and gathering information has been spot-on. Our communication is very strong right now.

Both of them are very useful for the team- Shreyas Iyer

When asked about the choice between Sunil Narine as an opening batsman or Andre Russell as a death bowler, Shreyas Iyer said, you cannot choose because you bowl in the death overs at one end and open at the other end. Talking about doing. Both of them have been very useful and phenomenal assets to the team. If they don’t do well with the ball, they can compensate with the bat. This is a big positive thing for our team.

On Philip Salt’s batting, Shane Watson said that the first three overs were actually all good cricket shots. But because of Philip Salt, he hit some boundaries first and then the bowlers started making mistakes. They started bowling fast and then they could take even more advantage at the end of the powerplay.
