Kolkata, November 14: Kolkata Knight Riders bottom place finish in the second edition of the Indian Premier League notwithstanding, newly-appointed coach Dav Whatmore today said the Shah Rukh Khan-owned side was certainly not a team to be the laggards in the high-profile Twenty20 event.
“KKR have all the ingredients to do well in IPL III. KKR is certainly not a side to finish last. In order to escalate in the ranking, combination of a number of things is important. We do have a group of players to form a good side,” said Whatmore in his first media interaction after replacing countrymate John Buchanan at the Eden Gardens here.
“I am confident that players in the group have it in them to make a big impact. The main thing is confidence and the game is as such where you cannot go in with double thoughts.
