Two-time champions KKR needed to win against Mumbai Indians on Sunday to qualify for the playoffs, but they slumped to a nine-wicket thrashing to crash out of the T20 tournament.

"There is no doubt and we can't hide from the fact that there was some tension on the field. That was pretty evident in the last, I guess, few games after we got into a bit of a roll with losses. We have to address that as a group," Katich said at the post-match press conference.
