Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have rediscovered their winning form under the guidance of their mentor and former captain, Gautam Gambhir. All-rounder Ramandeep Singh attributed the team's success to Gambhir's leadership and clarity in defining roles.
"There is a lot of clarity about the roles. The team is performing so well only because of him. He is backing everyone," said Ramandeep.
KKR currently sits second in the Indian Premier League (IPL) standings with five wins in seven matches. The team's resurgence has been marked by consistent performances from its players, including Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, and Varun Chakravarthy.
Ramandeep dismissed concerns about the fitness of star bowler Mitchell Starc, stating that the Australian is available for selection. "Yes, he is available. It has got to do with his workload management," he said.
Meanwhile, Punjab Kings will continue to play without their captain, Shikhar Dhawan, who is still recovering from a shoulder injury. Bowling coach Sunil Joshi said Dhawan is on the road to recovery and is expected to be fit for the next match against Chennai Super Kings.
In Dhawan's absence, all-rounder Sam Curran will continue to lead the Punjab Kings. The team has struggled in the IPL so far, winning only two of their seven matches.
