IPL 2021: KKR were paralysed a little bit by fear in first phase, says coach Brendan McCullum

Brendan McCullum admitted that the fear of losing led to the string of failures for Kolkata Knight Riders in the first half of IPL 2021 and urged the team to show the intent to play aggressive cricket and compensate in the upcoming half.

Kolkata Knight Riders coach Brendan McCullum wants his team to play without fear in the second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 when the halted season restarts in the United Arab Emirates from September 19. The two-time champions are languishing in seventh place on the points table with just 2 wins from 7 games in the first half of IPL 2021. The team struggled undr Eoin Morgan, who replaced Dinesh Karthik as the full-time captain this season.
