Bravo anticipates a strong performance from Kolkata Knight Riders against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens on Thursday, as the home team has yet to secure a victory at home in IPL 2025.

According to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Dwayne Bravo, a blend of clever bowling and overly aggressive batting has led to a decline in high-scoring games during the current Indian Premier League (IPL).

Discussing the trend of fewer totals exceeding 200 runs, Bravo stated, “You need to strategize against the batter and show courage. You will witness this with our bowling unit. Batters are not valuing their wickets as they should anymore.

“They have become somewhat reckless, thinking the pitch is conducive for scoring. The impact player is present. Many teams have batted for extended periods, so the significance of skillful batting has diminished… I believe it’s a mix of both aspects.”

Regarding KKR’s batting, which has not reached its potential, Bravo remarked, “We possess an aggressive batting lineup, but that approach isn’t effective. My message to the batters is that the fundamentals of the game remain essential. These players need to invest more effort, and I think they recognize that.”

Bravo hope about KKR

Bravo is hopeful that KKR will rebound against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens on Thursday.

“We aren’t the only team that has two losses and one victory.” It’s crucial for us to recover, and that is our primary focus at this moment,” Bravo stated on Wednesday.

Ryan Cook, the fielding coach for SRH, mentioned that his team’s spirits are high despite facing two consecutive losses.

“Everyone is maintaining a positive attitude. We have a well-bonded team. The morale is strong, and we’re eager to secure a win tomorrow,” Cook expressed.
