If KKR have a set off brains, they'll open with Gambhir and Uthappa with Lynn at 3. I think this Narine opening move worked against a down and out RCB. When he comes up against quality, the tail will hide between the legs!! I also feel GG just has to open. He basically can't bat anywhere else. Uthappa is at risk of losing his rhythm due to this changing and chopping along with the disappointment of losing out on the CT spot. Lynn can bat anywhere and I actually feel 3 really suits his style. I just get the feeling that all this shuffling may have lead to a little uncertainty in the KKR ranks. My team?

Gambhir
Uthappa
Lynn
Pandey
Pathan
SK Yadav
Woakes
Narine
Boult
K Yadav
U Yadav
The thing is Uthappa doesn't want to open. I think he said that in the previous IPL or I was the one who heard it differently.

Stop the Narine opening thing and open with GG and Lynn with Uthappa coming 1 down.

Narine opening thing
I like to disagree. If he was playing like Gayle wasting balls first and then hitting I would have agreed with you but he is not wasting balls and if he doesn't clicks and gets out early KKR are not losing anything big but if he clicks he is giving them a wondrous start.

They need someone to hit in the lower order. Yusuf isn't exactly hitting well right now nor others. So, they can use that firepower down the order.

Being a KKR rival(not really a rival, they are clear underdogs, 15-5). I feel Lynn and GG can do wonders while opening. My XI for them

Lynn
Gambhir
Uthappa
Pandey
Pathan
de Grandhomme
Narine
Coulter-Nile/Boult
Rajpoot
Yadav
Yadav

They will miss Woakes.

I don't think Narine can take the pressure at the bottom. He can hit open minded-ly in the opening overs.

Narine should continue as opener. If we lose him early, GG is there at 3 for stability. And the quality player he is, one down shouldn't hurt his performance. Currently he's just messed up for missing CT. He'll be back tomorrow!!

KKR recently chocking in a manner what we all are familiar with, when pressure is on!! Something to do with Kallis (South african) being the head coach!! ;)

Heath Streak joins as the bowling coach. With Kallis, Simon Katich now Streak looks like a solid trio of coaches. Will be good for the young fast bowlers of u-19.
