Kolkata,
IPL The 17th season of the series is going to start on 22nd. In the first match, the defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will play a multi-test.
Kolkata Knight Riders, the two-time champions in the series, are set to take on Sunrisers in their first league match. The Kolkata team has many star players including Russell, Sunil Narine, Shreyas Iyer, Ringu Singh.
However, in the last auction more than them Rs. Gautham Gambhir is confident that Australia’s Mitchell Starc, who was bought for a record Rs 24.75 crore, will be Kolkata’s trump card this time. Earlier, players like Ishan Kishan and Sam Karran were under pressure from being bought for huge sums and performed modestly. But Gautam Gambhir has said that Starc, who has a lot of experience in international cricket, will not face that pressure.
So Starc will play a key role in their success as their premier bowler, Gambhir said:- “I don’t think being overpriced will put any pressure on him. I’m sure he’ll do the same for Kolkata as he did in international cricket for Australia.
I have already stated at the player auction table that he is a trump card player. He made his grade in the IPL. I am sure he will show up in the series. Kolkata Knight Riders is not just a team for me. It is a feeling. I will also try to live up to expectations and win to make Kolkata proud,” he said.
