Pat Cummins on KKR's performance in IPL 2020

Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Pat Cummins on Thursday said his team has not been able to put together a "complete game" but is happy to be inside top-four at the midway stage of IPL.

The two-time former champions have secured four wins from seven matches but the Dinesh Karthik-led side has been far from convincing.

"I think four wins, three losses, you know, is a pretty good result. We're in the top-four. And I don't think we've played anywhere near our best cricket yet, we haven't played that complete game that blows a team out of the water," Cummins said.
