Do you agree with the KRKR decision to drop Moeen Ali for Spencer Johnson?
Its integration over Moeen, an extremely experienced Bat and Ball fighter, surprised fans and scientists.
The KKR currently sitting in fifth place on the table is under pressure to gain momentum regeneration, and this selection signals a bold and risky strategic shift.
Captain Ajinkya Rahane won the throwing and first chose in Eden Gardens.
With a record of 2-3 head-headed against LSG, the ckr will be eagerly even the score and climbed back to the first four. Whether Johnson can get off and justify the faith that is in it.
On the other hand, the LSG has not made any changes in its winning combination and is currently sitting in one place under the KKR in sixth place.
When the league entered its middle season, every match changes in necessity, and the KKR decision could prove to be a genius or catastrophic depending on how the game takes place.
