LSG’s bowling coach Morne Morkel said that the team has an advantage of having Gautam Gambhir on their side. Notably, Gambhir spent six years in the KKR camp and is very familiar with the conditions at Eden Gardens, which Morne feels will help the LSG players prepare well.
Earlier LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka announced that the team will be playing with Mohun Bagan’s iconic green and maroon jersey hoping the step will help LSG and take away some fans from KKR.
“Gambhir is always an advantage for us. He played for KKR, he knows Eden Gardens, and he was the two-time champion captain. So, I think it’s an advantage, and hopefully, we could make it,” said Morkel to India Today.
“Look we didn’t talk about this thing much. We need to do is to play and win. So, qualifying is one thing. But playing in the final is the goal. Kolkata, Eden Gardens is always a high-scoring ground. This ground has a history. So hopefully we could make it,” he added.
