Morgan scored 44 of 18 but couldn’t beat KKR
Eoin Morgan, England’s World Cup winning captain, is currently sporting a different hat – that of pressure bearer and finisher in the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup. She has had to be flexible in terms of batting position, but she has responded well to a variety of situations this season, although she has not crossed the line every time.
Against Delhi Capitals, a game KKR lost, Morgan was held and Andre Russell sent ahead of him to up the ante in a mammoth 229-run chase. The southpaw, however, defended the decision of the team’s management.
“When you look at our batting lineup, we have multiple match winners, so it’s very difficult to get up the order, particularly when you have a world-class SUV on Andre Russell. He’s an incredible forward, and when the order goes up, obviously everyone. the others have to go down a bit. ” Morgan said. “We went from a position of being behind the 8 ball, because Delhi threw well, to a position of strength and wanting to win. It just wasn’t meant to be.”
When asked more specific questions about the batting order, particularly Narine leading the batting, Morgan argued that Narine was a winner of the game at the top of the order.
“Sunil is the type of player who can produce tickets to win matches. It has never been a series of touchdowns over the years, but more about his impact on a game. He always takes the positive option, which sums up how we want to play our game. cricket, “he said.
