With key players departing after the 2025 season, KKR\u2019s batting lineup faces fresh scrutiny, and Balaji believes the responsibility will largely fall on skipper Ajinkya Rahane, Cameron Green, and the team\u2019s overseas openers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Balaji suggested a reshuffled batting order could maximise KKR\u2019s potential. \u201cI always feel that KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane should bat in the top order. He shouldn\u2019t bat at anything less than number three. He has done phenomenally well with CSK at number three and scored a lot of runs. So, he batting one down would be good for both him and KKR. Cameron Green can come out to bat at number four. That will give him time to settle down and then start going after the bowlers. So, a top four of Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, Ajinkya Rahane and Cameron Green is going to be the go-to one,\u201d he told JioStar. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
