Changed Attitude in KKR, reveals SRK
Mumbai: After two performances of below par in first two editions of IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders are hoping a change in attitude would do the trick in the third season of the Indian Premier League that commences on March 12.
“We have made many changes and one of those is the change in attitude. You will see that when we play in the IPL,” said team owner and Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan at a promotional event for the team in Mumbai.
KKR will start their campaign in the 45-day event on the opening night with a clash against defending champions Deccan Chargers at the D Y Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
Skipper and former India captain Sourav Ganguly also echoed Shah Rukh’s views, saying that the T20 format of the game called for a different outlook. “We want to play this format freely. This is what this format demands. We should all enjoy what we do. We will keep it simple. Whoever hits the white ball better will win” he remarked.
KKR team’s new purple-coloured jersey was also unveiled today.
King Khan conceded the team did not have a good run in the first two editions. “We have had the nicest of runs as far as the economics of the team are concerned. Yes, we had not performed (on the field) to the extent that we can. We would put our best foot forward. We will gauge our success from the way we play the game. It would be nice if we could win the IPL,” he said.
