Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh – Reflecting on KKR’s struggle in IPL 2023 – Andre Russell’s form is a matter of concern for the team.
“The biggest reason for KKR’s struggle this season has been Andre Russell’s batting form. Russell has struggled big time this season and unless he fires, KKR will find themselves in the bottom half of the points table. Russell’s problem is technical. He and the coaching staff need to sit down and address it,” Harbhajan said.
Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan has hailed the rise of Akshar Patel and backed the Gujarat cricketer to be the next Delhi Capitals captain because of his ability to deliver in every department.
“Akshar Patel is a proper all-rounder. He changes his deliveries very well and takes important wickets whenever the team needs him. He plays mature innings and is an equally good fielder. I see him as a potential captain for Delhi Capitals,” Pathan said.
