Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) managed to win just two games out of seven in the first half of IPL-14. However, the former champions bounced back strongly in the UAE leg, winning five out of seven matches to qualify for the play-offs. In their last league game, KKR thrashed Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 86 runs in Sharjah on Thursday.
KKR’s mentor David Hussey credited this turnaround to head coach Brendon McCullum’s planning and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar’s training methods.
