After a great start against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, everything has gone wrong for the KKR top-order. KKR's batting line-up, led by Ajinkya Rahane, can demolish any bowling attack on any given day, but is struggling for consistency at the moment.
After electing to bat first against Punjab Kings, KKR found themselves at 25/2 in 3.4 overs with the ball swinging. There will be pressure on them to perform well against LSG. Both Rahane and Allen have got good starts, while Green has not been able to perform much so far.
