"No Need To Become Selfish": IPL Winner's Humongous Verdict On KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders' unbeaten run in the IPL 2024 finally came to an end as the Shreyas Iyer-led side was defeated comprehensively by Chennai Super Kings on Monday. The KKR batters, who have been quite impressive in the competition till now, failed to produce their usual performances and the side could only manage to score 137/9 in 20 overs. KKR batters opted for their trademark aggressive approach but with the Chennai pitch assisting the bowlers, Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande took two wickets each to hand CSK the advantage. After the match, a fan on social media questioned whether KKR should have changed their approach and someone should have played a more 'selfish' knock for the team.

"KKR is full of big hitters and no one played for their personal milestone today. Still I can't understand why they scored just 137 today. A selfish 70(50) might have taken KKR to 160+ btw," the fan wrote.

Thoughts @bhogleharsha?

Former New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan, who won the IPL title with Mumbai Indians, did not agree with the fan's analysis and he believed that KKR should stick to the strategy that has worked for them. He asked them to continue with their fearless approach and not resort to a more selfish strategy.

"Sometimes you shoot for the stars and land on the moon. No biggie - their formula has worked so far no need to become selfish," McClenaghan replied on X (formerly known as Twitter).
