Their only point so far has come from a washout, and aside from the narrow defeat to Lucknow Super Giants decided on the last ball, the performances have not looked like title-calibre T20 cricket.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns are stacking up across departments. Their pace resources are thinned, one of their main spin options is not producing consistently, and the batting has repeatedly lacked the tempo needed in high-pressure chases. Even with Sunil Narine handed the role of opener, Aaron Finch felt the process still had gaps, saying some of their tactics were \u201cvery questionable\u201d during the Tuesday night clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), despite the chase being set at 193 to win.<\/p>\n<p>The chase never really took off. Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi did put together a partnership of 50 off 31 balls, but Finch\u2019s view was that it did not add meaningful difference to the way the innings was being played\u2014especially in a scenario where the game demanded more aggressive pressure.<\/p>\n<h3>Finch: \u201cCertainly wasn\u2019t pretty\u201d<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>KKR have won 0 of their first 5 IPL 2026 matches.<\/li>\n<li>They earned 1 point due to a washout.<\/li>\n<li>The only very close contest mentioned is vs Lucknow Super Giants, decided on the last ball.<\/li>\n<li>Finch said some of KKR\u2019s tactics against CSK were \u201cvery questionable.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>KKR were set 193 to chase in the CSK game.<\/li>\n<li>Rahane and Raghuvanshi\u2019s partnership: 50 runs off 31 balls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finch, speaking on ESPNcricinfo\u2019s TimeOut show after the match, summed it up as a difficult watch: \u201cCertainly wasn\u2019t pretty.\u201d He highlighted that there were \u201ca lot of question marks\u201d around KKR\u2019s approach during the run chase, even while acknowledging the experimentation of moving Narine up the order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe praised the decision for Sunil Narine to go to the top of the order,\u201d Finch said. \u201cIt didn\u2019t come off today [24 in 17 balls], but it was something different. At least they tried it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Finch believed other choices were harder to justify. He pointed out that KKR were never truly in the hunt, and he also questioned the logic of the batting pairing\u2014especially Rahane and Raghuvanshi together\u2014describing it as a stalling influence. While he felt the partnership itself was not disastrous, he argued it did not force the opposition to make serious tactical changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t take the bowling on,\u201d Finch said. \u201cThey don\u2019t get to a point where the opposition captain has to make some serious decisions about reshuffling their team.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Will Narine keep opening?<\/h3>\n<p>A key question now is whether KKR will stick with Narine as an opener. Finch\u2019s comments came with context: as recently as IPL 2024\u2014the season KKR won\u2014Narine had opened regularly and produced 488 runs at a strike rate of 180.74.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Southee, KKR\u2019s bowling coach, offered a squad-depth perspective when asked about the decision-making around the top of the order. Speaking at the press conference after the game, he said KKR were willing to explore options because results have not been coming, adding that the IPL rewards experimentation within a team\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s obviously had a lot of success in the batting for Kolkata in the IPL, so I guess we\u2019ve got a lot of options at the top of the order, and then we thought we\u2019d try something different in this game,\u201d Southee said. \u201cI think, obviously when you\u2019re losing, you can look at a number of different options. And yeah, I guess that\u2019s the beauty of the IPL, to test the depth of your squad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the CSK match, KKR\u2019s top order featured Narine and Finn Allen. Allen managed just 1 run, and his recent sequence of scores now reads 37, 28, 6, 9 and 1. Cameron Green batted at No. 6 in this game, and the pattern suggests KKR have already been shifting him around this season\u2014he has not stayed at the same spot in consecutive matches, with returns of 18, 2, 4, 32* and 0.<\/p>\n<p>There is also another name waiting in the dugout: Tim Seifert. With Rachin Ravindra also in the mix\u2014though Finch had earlier implied he does not bring the same kind of explosive firepower\u2014KKR will ask a practical question: if they revise the batting setup, who comes in for Green?<\/p>\n<p>Finch suggested the decision to place Green at No. 6 was unusual. \u201cTo Cameron Green batting at No. 6, that\u2019s an unusual position for him,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s done that a huge amount in T20 cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green has, in fact, batted at that number only nine times in T20s out of 68 total innings at the format level. The last time he did so was in 2024\u2014yet KKR paid INR 25.20 crore for him at the auction, a fact that adds another layer to the debate, even if form and role fit ultimately matter more than price tags.<\/p>\n<h3>Green\u2019s role under scrutiny<\/h3>\n<p>Finch pointed to the match-up problem as well. \u201cStarting against two spinners [Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad], he only lasted one ball. But that\u2019s his worst nightmare, walking out to bat [against spin], particularly in a run chase,\u201d he said. He stressed that selection should not be driven by the amount paid for a player. \u201cI don\u2019t think you ever pick a team on price tags. That would be really ignorant to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finch argued that auction value is about what a team believes the player can deliver, but it does not automatically mean the player should be placed anywhere in the batting order. \u201cBecause buying at the auction is a supply and demand of a skill set that you bring. It\u2019s not about, well, we have to play this guy because we paid this much for him. He&#8217;s playing out of position. His best numbers have been at the top of the order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also linked the discussion to the availability of Seifert. \u201cYou&#8217;ve got Seifert sitting in the wings, he&#8217;s a specialist opener,\u201d Finch said. \u201cCameron Green hasn&#8217;t played a huge amount of T20 cricket [recently, because of injuries]. So you&#8217;ve got a guy there who brings a good skill set and really good form in Seifert, coming off a good [T20] World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finch\u2019s pitch for Seifert was that his tools suit different phases of an innings. \u201cWho\u2019s got the scoops, he&#8217;s got the ramps, he&#8217;s got a lot of different options,\u201d he added. He then framed the selection debate in terms of captaincy planning: a player like Seifert requires multiple layers of thought from the opposing captain because the skill set allows for different attacking angles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a player that you have to do multiple stages of planning for when you&#8217;re a captain coming up against someone like him, because he&#8217;s got so many different skills,\u201d Finch said. \u201cSo I think that there is a time when you just have to say, you know what, it hasn&#8217;t worked just yet. That&#8217;s not to say that it&#8217;s done and dusted for the tournament, but I think that it gets to a point where you go, right, we need to rejig our side and rethink about how we&#8217;re structuring it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KKR\u2019s next assignment comes on Friday, with the team travelling to Ahmedabad to face Gujarat Titans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kolkata Knight Riders have endured a rough start to IPL 2026, playing five matches with no victories to show for it.
