KKR did not make the playoffs last year in UAE and they would like to change that this season. The biggest drawback of the side has been their inconsistency – they are a side that usually blow hot and cold. Eoin Morgan and Co would look to arrest that and show some consistency this year in India.

While Rana was the first player to contract the virus this year, there have been some unfortunate news from the Delhi Capitals camp on Saturday. As per a report on ANI, Axar Patel has also tested positive for COVID-19. With less than a week to go for the start of the new season, things are not looking up in the right direction as India fights the second wave.
