KKR have used as many as five different opening pairs and the team looked far from settled after its fifth straight defeat — this time to Delhi Capitals by four wickets with an over to spare.
He urged his teammates to play fearless cricket and not be conservative in their approach.
“We need to stick together, play some fearless cricket, not be conservative with the bat. Five more matches remaining, we need to play well, show belief and give something back to the team and the management, forget about the past, start afresh and back your instinct,” he said on the way forward.

DC skipper Rishabh Pant was always confident that once they take the game deep, there was no way they won’t win against KKR but he also believed that once Khaleel Ahmed is back from his hamstring injury, they will have a settled XI.
“We were thinking (of the wobble) because we lost too many wickets in the middle but at the same time we thought if we take the game deep, we can win it.
“We haven’t thought (about this as the best XI) as hundred percent. Khaleel got injured and that was a forced change, once he is back then we will have our best XI.”
“We see him (Powell) as a finisher but like today when we lost too many wickets, he has to come up and do the job.
