Ipl 2021 KKR: What KKR is thinking about making the playoffs! Listen to Shakib’s dressing room news.
#Sharjah: It can be said from the current situation of the IPL points table, Kolkata Knight Riders are the most advanced in terms of reaching the playoffs. But KKR still have one match to play. And either way, the Knights have to win that game. Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians are breathing down Kolkata’s neck in terms of reaching the playoffs. But they are not far behind.
Kolkata and Mumbai now have equal points. But in terms of run rate, KKR is slightly ahead. KKR will play against Rajasthan Royals in the last match. Mumbai Indians will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad. KKR and Mumbai, if both the teams win the last match by a simple margin, the door will open for Kolkata in the playoffs. But if Mumbai win by a big margin and Kolkata win in general, Rohit Sharma’s chances of making the playoffs are high.
Mumbai Indians beat Rajasthan Royals with 70 balls to spare on Tuesday. After winning by such a big margin, Mumbai Indians kept the hope of reaching the playoffs alive. KKR is currently fourth in the points table. Mumbai five. Barring any major mishaps, if they beat Rajasthan Royals in the last match, Kolkata is almost certain to play in the playoffs. But in such a situation there is tension in any team’s dressing room. KKR’s dressing room has that too.
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan brought up the news of Kolkata’s dressing room. However, he is optimistic about Kolkata reaching the playoffs. A video was posted on KKR’s social media handle. In that video, Shakib Al Hasan says, “I will give my best if I get a chance in the next match. You will pray for KKR. But we are very optimistic about reaching the playoffs.”
The Kolkata think tank did not keep Shakib Al Hasan in the eleven for the first time in one match after another. After a long time, Shakib got a chance to play against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In that match he picked up a wicket with 20 runs after bowling 4 overs. A run out on a direct throw. Didn’t get a chance to bat. However, Shakib left an impression in bowling and fielding. On this day, he said, “Everyone in our team will give their best in the last match. Now everything depends on us. Hopefully we will perform and reach the playoffs. But you will pray for us.”
