Kolkata, Apr 13: New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson has lavished praise upon Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) head coach Chandrakant Pandit for creating a positive atmosphere in the team.
Pandit - who is a successful coach in the Indian domestic circuit - had big shoes to fill after getting roped in for the job as successor to legendary cricketer Brendon McCullum.
McCullum left the IPL franchise after getting appointed as the head coach of England's Test side. Ever since his union with Ben Stokes-led English side in the longest format, McCullum has popularised the term 'Bazball' for the aggressive and result-oriented approach.
Lockie Ferguson on KKR Head Coach in IPL 2023
The Kiwi pacer - who returned to KKR after being traded from Gujarat Titans along with Rahmanullah Gurbaz - while interacting with media persons on the eve of the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens said Pandit is doing a great job.
"It's been a great experience with Chandru from the start. I love his honesty. He gets around all the players. He knows how the team's morale is and how we are going to go about our business as a team.
"Probably from the outset, it's just win or loss but it's about that consistency and try to create a culture and a team value that has Chandru brought into the team from an early stage. It's nice to have him lead from the front," the Kiwi right-arm merchant of speed stated.
Lockie Ferguson on Andre Russell IPL Form
While Andre Russell may have had a quiet campaign so far in the IPL but Ferguson believes that his star KKR teammate will turn things around in the upcoming games in the cash-rich league.
Russell got out cheaply for 0 and 1, even as KKR secured splendid wins over Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans in their previous two matches. But Ferguson said a big knock is due from the explosive Jamaican batter.
"I don't think Andre is underperforming. He played well in the first game (35 vs Punjab Kings), then he had a couple of early dismissals. I would say he's far from underperforming.
"We all know what Andre can do, particularly here that was my first season and first experience of Andre, and Jesus! I've not seen a guy hit a ball like that. I'm sure he will put us a show for us tomorrow night," he said, recalling his first season in KKR in 2019.
