No excuse, says Shreyas after 5th consecutive loss

After going down to Delhi Capitals on Thursday, KKR’s fifth consecutive defeat in IPL 2022, skipper Shreyas Iyer expressed disappointment and said the batters struggled to put up a big total but the bowlers did make a match out of it.

Invited to bat first at Wankhede Stadium, KKR scored 146 runs in 20 overs for the loss of 9 wickets. In reply, Delhi Capitals chased down the target in 19 overs for the loss of 6 wickets.

KKR has been constantly changing its opening pair and when Iyer was asked about this, he said, We started off really slowly and lost a couple of early wickets. It was holding up a bit (the wicket), but we didn’t get a good score on the board. No real excuses, we have to go back and assess where things are going wrong. A lot of chopping and changing is happening (at the top of the order), it’s been difficult to set up the right combination, with all injuries not helping as well, said Shreyas Iyer in a post-match presentation.
