Despite twin defeats to nemesis Mumbai Indians (MI) in the space of three days, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Dinesh Karthik feels his side still has a “great chance” of making the Indian Premier League (IPL) play-offs. KKR slipped to the fifth spot after a crushing 102-run defeat to MI at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
With three more games to go, KKR now have to win all of them to ensure their safe passage to the knockout stages and not leave their fate on other teams.
“I am very disappointed. But there are three games and we take one game at a time,” Karthik told.
“So if we win the games I know we have a great chance of getting to the playoffs. I believe in that and want my teammates to believe in that,” Karthik said.
KKR take on Kings XI Punjab next followed by Rajasthan Royals at home, and table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad.
