The Kolkata Knight Riders have lacked bite in their bowling attack in their first two matches of IPL 2026. Analysing the Knights’ defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday, Ashwin, on his YouTube channel, said: “KKR are going to have a lot of problems this season. The way they played this game and the last game, I think that they don’t have one bowler who they can bank on for four overs. You cannot just go to the nets and do spot bowling on your own. Sunil Gavaskar, speaking to Star Sports, said the Knights should play a specialist batter if all-rounder Cameron Green isn’t bowling.
