Jason Roy. (IPL) Jason Roy on Tuesday urged the , Kolkata Knight Riders to “draw a line in the sand” and keep fighting harder to eke out positive results in the next phase of the tournament.
With two wins and five defeats to the first seven matches, KKR need to desperately turn things to save themselves.
Some of the positives so far has been Rinku Singh’s aggressive batting and the century from Venkatesh Iyer. But otherwise it has been a season to forget for the Knights.
KKR’s next assignment is against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday but it is RCB who have momentum on their side. But the purple brigade is keeping their spirits up.
“The talk in the camp is to just keep pushing hard, we got to enjoy ourselves. It is very easy in cricket, especially in short formats to lose and (resultantly) lose a lot of confidence,” Roy said at his pre-match press conference.
“We are trying to keep the confidence high, smile in the change room, making sure our methods do not change too much. As individuals we need to look in the mirror, get better each session and think how we can individually impact the game in a better way. We have had some good individual performances along the losses, which is a bit of positive, but a loss is a loss,” he said.
“We got to draw a line in the sand now that the half of the tournament is done for us and we just got to push forward,” Roy added.
