Kolkata Knight Riders started their campaign on a winning note by handing a thumping defeat to Delhi Daredevils by displaying an allround performance.

KKR captain Gautam Gambhir was quite rightly delighted with the winning start, and praised his team, while terming their performance ‘professional’.

“In our chase, someone had to bat through,” KKR captain Gambhir said. “That is what professional teams do. It was my responsibility to do that.”

“Robin was unbelievable, to give us that kind of start was fantastic,” he added. “We’ve covered most of our bases, so we are happy with whatever surfaces we get.”

The match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils was played on an uncommon-Eden Gardens surface, and offered something to both spinners and pacers.

Kolkata spinner Brad Hogg spun the ball and ripped through Delhi’s middle-order. He finished with an impressive figures, while also taking three wickets.

“We just have to adjust to any surface,” Russell said. “That is where professionalism comes into play. It wasn’t the fastest of wickets, it wasn’t slow either.”

The Knight Riders will face Mumbai Indians in their second match of the Indian Premier League on April 13.
