      Our batters are low on confidence, says Bravo

      Normally, runs bring confidence, form brings confidence and now it’s time to be honest. The batters don’t have confidence at the moment, but the guys are preparing and practising, says Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Dwayne Bravo HYDERABAD: Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Dwayne Bravo said that as a team KKR didn’t bat properly and there was a need to keep the players mentally focussed. “IPL is that kind of tournament where when you don’t start well, batsmen go into a period where they’ve lost confidence. That’s what’s happening at the moment,” he said after KKR lost to Gujarat Giants. “But again, our batters are low on confidence.
