Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan blamed top-order batting failure for their loss to Mumbai Indians on Friday and said they need to “turn things around” quickly.

“With the batting early on, we made a few mistakes. Mumbai Indians bowled really well and proved exactly why they have been one of the form teams in the tournament so far,” Morgan said at the post match press conference.

“We’re just past the half-way stage in the tournament. There is no better time to turn things around,” he added.

Morgan said the KKR batting order will need to be flexible, adapting according to the opposition.

“We have to be as adaptable as possible going forward,” said the England limited-overs skipper.
