The defending champion Chennai Super Kings will be the Kolkata Knight Riders‘ next formidable opponent at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The visitors will be hoping to extend their winning streak to four games. KKR have hardly put a foot wrong so far, winning all their matches. But what is the secret behind KKR’s impeccable form? According to assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, it is the Gautam Gambhir influence.

KKR have won its first three games, and their batting has been especially strong, as they have scored 200 runs or more twice.
“There is no substitute for experience or a captain who has won two IPL championships with a franchise. Regardless as a mentor or on the field, having GG in the dugout makes a big difference and is a big boost for the players,” Nayar said.

“Players who have played under him, like Sunny (Sunil Narine) and (Andre) Russell, you can see the difference, with Sunny scoring runs as an opener. So, all of it matters,” Nayar added.
