Dubai: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Dinesh Karthik, has finally opened up after his team’s victory against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday (September 30). Despite the massive victory, Karthik refused to accept that it was a perfect game, adding that KKR are getting it right one at a time against Rajasthan Royals.
He also credited Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan and Shubman Gill’s batting performance for getting them to a good total on the scoreboard. “I wouldn’t call it perfect. There are a lot of areas we could improve. It was a good game, a lot of things pleased me – the way Gill started, Mavi bowled, the way (Andre) Russell batted, the way (Eoin) Morgan kept his head. The beautiful sight of the youngsters going for the catch no matter how high it is.” Karthik said after the match.
Talking further about the youngsters in his squad, he said, “It’s a very special thing – these boys. The journey they’ve gone through when not playing, and for them to just come out and express themselves with the bat and ball was incredible.” KKR will next take on Delhi Capitals on October 3 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
