Naren-Salt are giving a good start
Kolkata Knight Riders are getting a good start in IPL 2024. Its openers Sunil Narine and Phil Salt are in good form. With Narine opening, the depth of KKR’s batting increases, due to which they are scoring big scores. KKR had scored 272 runs for Delhi Capitals. In the year 2014, captain Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa were giving good starts to the team.
Russell-Rinku Singh also in excellent form
To win any match, not only a good start is required, but it also has to be carried to the right end. Andre Russell and Rinku Singh are fulfilling the responsibility of taking it to the right end very well. In the year 2014, Yusuf Pathan was doing this work along with Andre Russell.
Champion captain Gautam Gambhir becomes mentor
KKR’s current performance is also being linked to the return of Gautam Gambhir. When Kolkata team became champion in 2012 and 2014, its captain was Gautam Gambhir. In the year 2018, Kolkata Knight Riders released Gautam Gambhir and he joined the Delhi Capitals team. Gambhir could not perform well for Delhi. After retirement, Gambhir became the mentor of Lucknow Supergiants. In this IPL journey, Gambhir has now returned to KKR.
