Gambhir confident KKR will bounce back – Cricket News Roundup – May 15, 2012 – Part 2
Kolkata Knight Riders’ skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447, is confident that his team will bounce back and make it to the play-offs, despite suffering back to back defeats at home.
After being defeated by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians on May 12, KKR further failed to cement their place for the next stage of the IPL, following a last-ball loss to Chennai Super Kings last night.
Gambhir however, is optimistic that the team will qualify for the next round, considering that they only need one win from their remaining two matches. “Though we lost two games on the trot, there were a lot of positives to take home. We are still third
in the table and have two more games to play. It is just a matter of playing to our potential,” said Gambhir.
Former Pakistani skipper and coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 as the captain for the T20 format.
Hafeez was elevated to the role at the expense of One-day and Test leader, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Younis-Khan-c98325, and Waqar feels that
the appointment will serve well for the Men in Green as Hafeez commands respect from others.
“I hope that Hafeez gets the support of all the players in the team and the squad, particularly the senior players”, the former speedster said.

Bairstow has had a successful English County campaign so far, where he has scored two centuries for his club http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807. After debuting for the ODI side last year, Bairstow is all set make his first
Test appearance for the national team when they take on the Windies in the first Test on May 17th.
"I think he'll do well," said Bresnan. "He seems to relish the big occasion, and there's none bigger than your Test debut really," said the England quick, who is also Bairstow’s club teammate.
