Encouraged by the presence of many "team players", KKR bowling coach Wasim Akram has expressed confidence that his side will make it to the final four in the IPl as they have a "good enough" bowling attack.
"We just went for the players we thought are team players and obviously individual match winners, Yusuf is there, Shakib-al-Hasan, Robin Uthappa, Andre Russell. All these guys are team people and a team sport needs players who support each other when things are bad," Akram said.
"There’ll be rough time. You'll lose couple of games on the trot, which’ll happen, it's a long tournament. But, it was a decision made by the management, we want boys who could actually be good team players apart from being individual match winners," the former Pakistani skipper said.
Asked whether he sees KKR in the final four in this year's edition of the IPl, he said, "I would love to. Yes I can see KKR. I would like to see KKR in the finals. We have good enough team, we have good enough bowling, fielding has been consistent. So, yes, there is always a chance."
