Ask the opening players to adjust to the conditions & play, no matter if they score only 40-50 runs in 8 overs. Tell them that if they survive for more than 7-8 overs they can destroy the momentum of the oppositions & no one can stop them once they start destructing the bowlers..... Korbo lorbo jeetbo…..

They were allowed to have Mortaza only when IPL allowed them to have a replacement for Umar Gul... They were the first ones to go after Warner even b4 his much touted debut.... See in IPL 1.0 all teams have hired 8 international players ... KKR went out of way and went to hire Mendis and Hodge and used up their two remaning slots... Moises Henriques was hired when they released Shoaib Akhtar from their ranks and Yes I was wrong about Moises Henriques part ... I always confuse him as a SA player.... @GreatBong : You got it wrong… They were allowed to have Mortaza only when IPL allowed them to have a replacement for Umar Gul… They were the first ones to go after Warner even b4 his much touted debut….
