With the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League set to commence from March 22, all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer on Sunday said he is excited to work under the new combination of coach Chandrakant Pandit and mentor Gautam Gambhir at the Kolkata Knight Riders. In November last year, Gambhir announced his return to KKR as mentor after a two-year stint at Lucknow Super Giants. Gambhir successfully led KKR to title triumphs in 2012 and 2014 respectively. “Gautam sir coming back is going to be a huge plus for KKR. I’m really looking forward to working with him. Whatever conversations I’ve had with him in the past, he has always talked about creating an impact for the team’s goals rather than personal milestones. He is an amazing leader and I’m also excited to see the combination of him and Chandu sir (Chandrakant Pandit). Both are amazing tacticians and have the experience of winning trophies,” Venkatesh told kkr.in.
