In terms of fan following, KKR has the most craze among them and their fans have already considered their team as the champion. Is KKR really going to become champion this time?

Talked to KKR fast bowler Harshit Rana in the afternoon at around 1 o’clock. He said that “our practice session is about to start and it will continue till night.”

Players practised vigorously in different groups. The biggest quality of this team is that it has learned to overcome their weaknesses. Their weaknesses are proved to be their strengths. Mitchell Starc’s condition was like that of an expensive pet elephant till a few days ago, but on one important occasion, Starc made the team win. He dismissed Travis Head, Nitish Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed in the powerplay in Qualifier-1. He found Head on late outward movement, Nitish Reddy on a changed length and Shahbaz on a ball that was almost on the cross seam.
