Gambhir warns Knight Riders against complacency – Cricket News Update
The triumphant Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447, has warned the side against complacency after they dethroned the formidable Delhi Daredevils from the top of the IPL-V points table with a six-wicket win at the Feroz Shah
Kotla, on Monday, May 7, 2012.
Speaking to the media reporters after a convincing victory over Virender Sehwag-led Daredevils, Gambhir, himself a Delhi lad, insisted that every game is important for them and they go into a match not to play but to win.
"As long as I lead KKR there will never be any complacency, as every game is as important as the first game or the final," said Gambhir at the post-match press conference in Delhi on Monday night.
"We play Mumbai Indians twice, then Chennai and Pune, so the important thing is to keep winning games. It's important to play as a unit. If we play like we have been playing then the results will go in our favour. "
The 30-year-old left-handed batsman credited his bowlers for yesterday’s convincing win over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils. Gauti said that Narine was no doubt impressive once again, but the rest of the attack complemented him well as they restricted
the formidable Delhi line-up to a modest total of 153 for 9 in their quota of 20 overs.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419, Rajat are the unsung heroes,” Gambhir said after the match. “Sunil can only bowl four overs, those are important but we need to have other people who can complement Sunil, so credit goes to the whole bowling department,"
he added further.
Kallis set the tone, dismissing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajat-Bhatia-c83456 choked Daredevils’ run rate in the middle overs.
Gambhir, who was appointed as the Knight Riders’ skipper last season, after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 was snubbed during players auction, led the side to tournament playoffs last year. In the ongoing season five of the money spinning league,
the promising top order batsman has led the side to eight wins from 12 matches played so far.
The Kolkata based Knight Riders are next scheduled to play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians at home, Eden Gardens, on May 12, 2012.
