RP Singh feels that KRKR should try Venkates Iyer as an opener because they have made a lot of investment in it. Venkates, who fought for a form this season, started his career as an opener.
“No, that’s not a bad idea. In fact, it’s a good idea – to reduce one foreign player and let the Venekates Iyer open. I feel that Narine should certainly be on the team because his tosses sometimes become important.”
“So maybe Venkatesh and Narine can open up together and can bring someone like Powell in the middle order to use his power there. So this option is not bad at all.”
“It depends on how the leadership thinks, because many times coaches and support staff evaluate things based on the current form seen in networks and surrounding scenarios. That’s something we really don’t see outside.”
“But yes, this way to open up Venkatesh – I think it’s worth trying. You have already invested so much time in it, so why not let it open shifts?” said Singh.
