Kolkata: Worst condition in ongoing IPL (TATA IPL 2026) Kolkata Knight Riders (Kolkata Knight Riders). So far, the Knight camp has not seen the face of victory in a single match. Shahrukh’s team is also at the bottom of the points table. Losing four out of five matches, one match was washed out due to rain. Social media is criticizing the team’s strategy, gameplan, players’ performance. And the most criticized is Cameron Green, the ace all-rounder of the team. Who was bought by KKR at the price of Tk 25 crore 20 lakh from the last auction. Andre Russell was let go of Green as his replacement, but Mohammad Kaif feels the biggest mistake the Knights made was letting go of the Caribbean star.

Despite getting 221 runs on the board against Mumbai at Wankhede, the team could not defend it. Then they lost at home against Sunrisers, Lucknow, got 1 point against Punjab, and were all out for 160 chasing 192 against CSK at the Chidambaram Stadium in the last match. The player that Knight’s management planned to step into Russell’s shoes, Green is a complete flop. Kaif says, “KKR’s biggest mistake in my opinion was letting go of Russell.” I don’t understand why he was not used as an all-rounder this season. There is no point in keeping him in the KKR dug out.”

In the current IPL, only 56 runs came from Green’s bat in five innings. Maximum is only 32. Couldn’t make any impression on the ball. Russell on the other hand was KKR‘s wealth for the past 12 years. Russell’s IPL career is also quite enviable. He scored 2651 runs at a strike rate of 175 in a total of 140 matches. Such a person is only placed in the night dugout with the title of ‘power coach’. Which Kaif strongly criticized. 

KKR’s next match is against Gujarat Titans tomorrow. Green may be placed in the eleventh in that match. But the question is only one, will Knight Riders be able to see the face of victory at all?
