'KKR’s Top Order Definitely Needs To Fire This Season', Opines L Balaji Ahead Of IPL 2026
With key players departing after the 2025 season, KKR’s batting lineup faces fresh scrutiny, and Balaji believes the responsibility will largely fall on skipper Ajinkya Rahane, Cameron Green, and the team’s overseas openers.
Balaji suggested a reshuffled batting order could maximise KKR’s potential. “I always feel that KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane should bat in the top order. He shouldn’t 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,” he told JioStar.
