IPL 2026 ka aagaz Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ke liye kisi nightmare se kam nahi raha. Points table par sabse neeche jhoojh rahi KKR ke fans ab sawal utha rahe hain ki kya “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo” sirf ek slogan ban kar reh gaya hai?
Halaanki Punjab Kings ke khilaaf barish ki wajah se unhe 1 point mil gaya hai, lekin KKR ki asli mushkilen maidan ke andar hain. Aaiye dekhte hain wo 3 bade karan jisne KKR ko backfoot par dhakel diya hai.
1. Bowling Unit ka “Hospital” Banna
KKR ne auction mein ek tagdi bowling line-up taiyar ki thi, lekin kismat ne sath nahi diya. Team ke top fast bowlers filhaal injury list mein hain:
- Matheesha Pathirana: ₹18 Crore ka ye ‘Death Over Specialist’ Sri Lanka Cricket se clearance na milne ki wajah se bahar hai.
- Harshit Rana: Pure season se bahar ho chuke hain.
- Akash Deep: Season shuru hone se pehle hi chotil ho gaye.
Natija: KKR ke paas ab koi aisa bowler nahi bacha jo 18th ya 20th over mein run rok sake. Sunrisers Hyderabad ke khilaaf 226 runs khana isi kamzori ka saboot tha.
2. Spinners ka Magic hua Gayab
Sunil Narine aur Varun Chakravarthy hamesha se KKR ki taqat rahe hain. Lekin 2026 ke shuruat mein ye dono hi “out of touch” lag rahe hain. Jab middle overs mein wickets nahi milte, toh opposition teams khul kar khel rahi hain. KKR ka “Spin Trap” ab utna khatarnak nahi raha jitna pehle hua karta tha.
3. Cameron Green aur Top Order ka Collapse
Auction mein ₹25.20 Crore kharch karke Cameron Green ko laya gaya tha taaki batting ko mazbooti mile, lekin result ab tak zero raha hai.
- Opening Confusion: Ajinkya Rahane aur Finn Allen ki jodi wo tez shuruat nahi de pa rahi hai.
- Rinku Singh par Over-dependency: Russell aur Gurbaz ke jaane ke baad aisa lagta hai jaise finish karne ki puri zimmedari akele Rinku Singh ke kandhon par hai.
