He elaborated: "When it came to the run chase, you look towards Aaron Finch and say that such a big player and such a huge problem, that incoming deliveries trouble him so much. He looked so uncomfortable, it was not funny anymore. I feel he won't be playing the next match, you have also dropped Venkatesh Iyer. He did score runs in one match but he looks very out of form." The former KKR player was appreciative of the knock played by Shreyas Iyer. He reasoned: "Baba Indrajith was dismissed by a bouncer, a fielder was there in the deep. But after that, Shreyas Iyer played well. It was a slow knock but a good one. They are important runs because this batting does not have the depth. It was a slightly unfortunate dismissal down the leg side." Iyer scored 34 runs off 32 deliveries, a knock studded with three fours and a six. The KKR skipper gloved a Trent Boult delivery down the leg side to Sanju Samson behind the wickets.
