Morgan and Karthik
David Hussey, the chief mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), believes that Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik can together benefit the team. Hussey said that the experience of Morgan would be handy for Karthik and KKR.
“He is a World Cup-winning captain. He has captained England for a long time. Classy player. He will be a great ally for Dinesh Karthik,” Hussey was quoted to IANS.
Hussey praised the world cup winning captain Eoin Morgan to be a calm presence on the field. He also expects the two to have a good relationship on and off the field.
“Maybe fielding in the ring and talking to the bowlers while our captain’s behind the stumps, keeping wickets. He is also a very cool calm and collected person so… he will be very handy in the middle order controlling things with our captain as well.” Hussy said.
“So I do expect them to have a really good relationship on and off the field. He is going to go a long way in having a cool head and winning many games for KKR during a very tight tournament,”, He added.
