Ipl 2020 Kolkata Knight Riders Can Play An Extra Bowler At No. 7 As The Batsman Is Of No Use Aakash Chopra

He made this observation while previewing today’s IPL 2020 encounter between the Kolkata-based franchise and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a video shared on his YouTube channel.

While talking about the team changes that Sunrisers Hyderabad could make in their playing XI, Aakash Chopra hoped that the franchise opts for Mohammad Nabi in place of the injured Mitchell Marsh to give more substance to their brittle middle order.

He mentioned that Nabi will have to be included if Kane Williamson is not fit enough to play, even though Kolkata Knight Riders have players like Andre Russell and Eoin Morgan who could take the attack to the spinners.

Coming to Kolkata Knight Riders, Aakash Chopra opined that the franchise could go in with an extra bowler instead of a pure batsman at the No. 7 position.

He added that Kolkata Knight Riders playing a pure Indian batsman at No. 7 who is not renowned for his big hits is almost like taking the field a player short.
