“We’re playing our fourth game here so we know what to expect from a pitch like that. There were a few balls that took off, but that happens. We know seam bowlers will get help, but we didn’t bat well, didn’t get partnerships and that was something missing from our side today.
“That’s been the story for us. The constant efficiency from each departments has been lacking,” he added.
KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer was pleased with the big win.
“Very happy as a result of after dropping the final sport by a giant margin, feels good to return again and win by a giant margin is sweet. We had a pleasant begin within the powerplay and Venky (Venkatesh Iyer) focused bowlers effectively. I personally felt that it wasn’t simple to start out for a brand new batter.
