After struggling in the early half of the season and staying near the bottom of the points table, KKR have bounced back strongly with four consecutive victories to emerge as serious contenders for a top-four finish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cKKR have won four matches in a row. Their team balance is looking solid. The spin attack has regained its bite, and the batting unit is firing consistently. They are peaking at the right time, which is what matters most in a long tournament,\u201d Bangar told Jio Hotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTeams that build momentum towards the business end often go deep into the playoffs. KKR are in a very good space right now. That\u2019s why their playoff probability has gone up significantly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangar further stated that Kolkata\u2019s remaining fixtures could define one of the most memorable turnarounds seen in the league.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIf they win their remaining four games, they will pull off one of the greatest comebacks in IPL history. From the bottom of the table to the top four, that would be a remarkable turnaround. It will take a special effort, but with the form they are in, it looks possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangar also reflected on the shifting dynamics of the playoff race following Punjab Kings\u2019 defeat to Delhi Capitals, saying the result has complicated Punjab\u2019s hopes of securing a top-two finish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Meanwhile, KKR are placed at eighth position in the points table with nine points in ten matches. They will next face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on May 13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
