Coach Brendon McCullum has been there for two seasons and now we have started playing with his style. Stopping a strong team like Mumbai and getting the target has given us confidence. We tried to fit Venkatesh Iyer into the playing XI and it is great to see the way he is scoring."

The captain also praised the bowlers, especially the West Indies' Sunil Narine and Varun Chakraborty. "This was Varun's second match and he played with full confidence. Sunil and Varun are excellent bowlers. Sunil has been an important part of the KKR team in the past as well. The first two games of the second half were good for us," he said.
He further said I don't think anyone player has changed the landscape of the team. I believe our bowlers have been superstars in the last two matches. He bowled really well here and in Abu Dhabi on favorable wickets to bat.
