V Iyer, as Harshith on scoring observed a little while ago, has been playing almost everything off the back foot. As he does here. Fullish ball around off, he goes back and taps it with a full face to the bowler's right

Pandey Dai: "Win Probability algorithm needs a major update." KKR at 59.75% rn
Rangadham has a wet hot-take: "When overs are reduced, to maintain an even contest between bat and ball, the number of batters also needs to be reduced"
Vishal Poojary: "Good to see KKR not changing the batting order much to keep the left-right combination going. Always better to bring the best batsman in to play the best bowlers."

Not that short but V Iyer pulls it well in front of deep square leg. He hobbles about, slows while turning. That left leg still seems to be an issue.

45 for 3 in the powerplay, which has been reduced to five overs due to rain. MI bossing?
