KKR got off to a disastrous start. Aaron Finch and Venkatesh Iyer flopped at the top while Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were dismissed without scoring. Shreyas Iyer said KKR now needed to go back to the drawing board.
We started off really slowly and lost a couple of early wickets. It was holding up a bit (the pitch), but we didn't get a good score on the board," Shreyas told Star Sports
"No real excuses, we have to go back and assess where things are going wrong. A lot of chopping and changing is happening, it's been difficult to set-up the right combination, with all injuries not helping as well. We need to stick together, play some fearless cricket, not be conservative with the bat."
Shreyas Iyer said KKR need to show some belief now with just five matches remaining for them this season.
