A new captain in the saddle, Kolkata would look to sort out their batting woes and strive for consistency when they face  Hyderabad in an intriguing mid-table Indian Premier League clash here on Sunday.

After a string of below-par performances, Dinesh Karthik handed over the reins to his deputy Eoin Morgan hours before Kolkata's match against Mumbai Indians on Friday. But the World Cup-winning England captain's campaign as a leader was off to a disappointing start with Mumbai handing Kolkata an eight-wicket mauling.

Kolkata are still in the top four of the IPL points table behind Mumbai, Delhi, and  Bangalore with four wins and as many defeats. But if the two-time champions want to seal a play-off spot, their batsmen need to step up, shrug off their inconsistencies and win matches for the team.

After a massive 82-run loss to Bangalore, the Kolkata batsmen failed yet again against Mumbai bowlers as they were reduced to 42 for 4 in the eighth over. Half of Kolkata batsmen were gone for 61 in the 11th over. An 87-run unbroken stand for the sixth wicket between Morgan (39 not out) and pacer Pat Cummins (53 not out) took them to 148 for 5.

But Mumbai needed just 16.5 overs to overhaul the target, losing two wickets in the process.

At the top, Shubhman Gill has failed to capitalise on his starts, while Rahul Tripathi has not gone past the 20-run mark after his brilliant 81 against the Chennai.

Nitish Rana has been profligate and Karthik's batting slot has been experimented with throughout the tournament. Andre Russell and Morgan have also not been able to make the kind of impact expected from players of their caliber. 

The Kolkata bowlers did well to fashion narrow victories against Punjab and Chennai, but leaked runs against Bangalore and Mumbai. To add to their woes, star spinner Sunil Narine has been reported for suspect bowling action and he has missed two matches since then. 

The Orange Army, who occupy the fifth spot on the points table with just three wins from eight outings, are also struggling. With the injuries ruling out pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, the Orange Army is facing a conundrum of whether to strengthen their batting or their bowling unit, a fact that skipper David Warner conceded.

The team heavily relies on its batting unit, mainly on the top four comprising Jonny Bairstow, Warner, Manish Pandey, and Kane Williamson.

A cause of concern for the Hyderabad is Rashid Khan's form. After returning impressive figures like 3/14, 0/12, 3/12, the Afghan leg- spinner remained ineffective in the team's last two losses. Rahul Tewatia, Ambati Rayudu, and Shane Watson smashed him for sixes.

Skipper Warner will desperately hope that his star spinner finds his mojo back which is imperative for the team's success.
