Overall KKR fan enjoyed the game I hope.

I hope so. But, Would you believe me if I said most Bangladeshi KKR Fans wanted them to lose the game? Haha, Sounds funny right? Here is why. Bangladeshi fans were expecting Liton Das to be in the squad. But, He wasn't even on the Substitutes list. He was on the bench!
Bangladesh Formar Captain Mashrafee Bin Mortaza said those teams use Bangladeshi cricketers' Social Media Fan base. Look at their Facebook page activity. It's true. They post their pictures daily on their Facebook page and don't even include them in the playing squad. IPL Teams are buying Bangladeshi Cricketers so they can get Fans from Bangladesh. Maximum Fans from Bangladesh Watch IPL Just because of their players.

The most important thing is that the team management will do what they think is the best. It does not matter which country players are included in the game or not. If a player plays well then he would be kept in the playing squad but it is very difficult for a Bangladeshi player to get that opportunity. Because foreign players are generally limited. So competition is normally high. Team managers usually want to include the best performers. Although some players from Bangladesh get the opportunity to play regularly. You may be right. Because the people of each country may have a sympathy towards themselves.

It is difficult for Bangladeshi players to perform regularly in IPL. Especially for Bangladeshi batsmen. Because they are batting very slowly. And we see high scores in every match of IPL. Slow batting is very risky here. However, Kolkata will not suffer if Liton Das is added to their squad. In the last few T20 matches we have seen great batting from Lytton. He scored big and batted at a strike rate of over 150. Kolkata could have offered Liton as a replacement for Rahmanullah Gurbaz. I think Liton Das is a better option for Kolkata than Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Even in the last match, Rahmanullah Gurbaz did not play well. He returned to the dressing room without collecting any runs in 3 balls.
