Former India cricketer, Mohammad Kaif has blamed the team management of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for the team’s forgettable outing in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Kaif is of the opinion that KKR did well at the auction, but failed to make the optimal utilization of resources during the ongoing season.

Mohammad Kaif further stated that KKR has tried several combinations by making a lot of changes to their playing XIs for different matches and this chopping and changing approach has had a negative effect on the team environment and also adds extra pressure on the players.

Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, KKR suffered a dominating loss against Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday and the huge margin of defeat has left them with eight points from 11 matches. They have three matches left and the maximum they can reach is 14 points, which is again something that cannot guarantee even a fourth-place finish.

During a recent chat with Sportskeeda, Mohammad Kaif said, “KKR had a lot of players, but they couldn’t play them and made too many changes in their playing XI. These changes add pressure on the players and it is difficult to play in such an environment. KKR management is to blame for this situation as they have done a lot of chopping and changing.”

He further added, “Players are always motivated to perform well and win matches for their team. They want to do well as their reputation is at stake. While both teams haven’t had a great season, any player who’d get a chance would want to contribute to the success of the team.”
