There were rumors of the outrage between Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik, since last season of the Indian Premier League. Last year during a press conference Andre Russell pointed a few things which went wrong from the skipper’s side.
Later on Dinesh Karthik’s also assured that the things are now normal between them and they want to help KKR side for their growth in the tournament.
The team mentor David Hussey also stated that there is no such rift between the two senior players of KKR and both of them want to work for the betterment of the team.
“There is no rift or anything there. Actually, I think there is a bit of bromance there, and they are pretty close, which is fantastic for the group. Karthik is a straightforward person who backs his teammates to get the job done. It’s a good sign of leadership. He is high maintenance at times because he loves the game of cricket. There is no malice… he only cares about winning the game,” said David Hussey as quoted on Indian Express.
This time KKR has roped in England’s World Cup captain Eoin Morgan in their side who may get chance to bat at Number 3.
“Morgan is a classy-middle order player. Along with DK, I am sure it will be a fantastic partnership on the field. DK from behind the stumps and Morgan can be sort of the vice-captain and help the bowlers out in certain situations. He will fit in perfectly,” Hussey concluded.
The 13th edition of IPL will start on September 19 and Kolkata Knight Riders will surge the field to register their 3rd IPL win.
