Ahmedabad: Ahead of their match against Rajasthan Royals on Monday, Kolkata Knight Riders’ chief coach Trevor Bayliss expressed concern over the batting performance of his team.
“Performance of our batsmen is definitely a matter of concern. We could have added some more runs in our past matches. We need to improve on that part,” said Bayliss during a press meet in Motera on Sunday.
KKR’s performance in this IPL season has so far remained unimpressive. They have lost four out of six T20 matches, putting them in fifth place. Their captain Gautam Gambhir has also scored just 52 runs in six matches, including three consecutive ducks.
However, Bayliss hoped that his team will bounce back.
“It was the same situation in the previous season. After losing some initial matches we made a comeback. Thus, just like the previous season, KKR will bounce back this time as well,” said Bayliss, who arrived at the stadium with his team and practised in the evening.
Despite the losses, Bayliss said that he does not want to play around with the make-up of the squad. (PTI)
