replacing dk not a right move
Former Indian pacer Ajit Agarkar feels replacing Dinesh Karthik with Eoin Morgan as captain of KKR was a very strange and wrong move. “I don't think replacing Dinesh Karthik after seven games when you're sitting fourth in the table is the right move in my opinion. It does add to the disruption of the team and you could see the way they performed against Mumbai Indians, even though it was a tough game,” said Agarkar while speaking on Star Sports' show Fanweek. “I don't think it was a right move. You make plans with a certain captain through the course of the year and in spite of sitting fourth on the table, it was a very strange move for me,” he added.
‘csk can still qualify to playoffs’
Despite CSK's below-par campaign so far, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has backed the Yellow Army to make the playoffs this season. After winning just three out of their first 10 games, CSK have slumped to the bottom of the points table. Irfan, however, believes CSK players possess the potential to mark a return and bounce back from the bottom. “If anyone can bounce back — from the seventh or eighth position, this is the team, CSK. CSK know very well how to handle the players, they make the players very comfortable. I was part of that squad in 2015. It's all about the players,” Irfan said on Star Sports.
