2. Winning Habit
Gambhir had led KKR with aplomb.
Gautam Gambhir was able to instil the confidence of winning in the Kolkata Knight Riders. The winning habit plays a crucial role in the success of the team.
KKR players were able to grow in confidence as well as stature after winning the two IPL titles in the past.
It also plays a role in the crunch situations of the game. Players who have witnessed the chance to perform in the tensed situation can do better than those who haven’t received such opportunity.
Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils (though Gautam failed to repeat the same magic in DD) are prime examples of such teams who don’t possess the winning habit thus far.
