Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak, who was KKR’s bowling coach in IPL 2018, has been handed an 8-year ban for breaching ICC's Anti-Corruption Code. A total of five charges were levelled against Streak for his role as the coach of Zimbabwe between 2016-2018 and as the coach of various franchises.

Irfan Pathan, reviewing the Mumbai vs Kolkata game, pin-pointed Eoin Morgan’s dismissal as the turning point of the game and opined that a rush of blood forced the KKR skipper to needlessly go for a glory hit. Pathan further noted that KKR did not go hard in the powerplay despite losing no wickets.
