IPL 2024: Venkatesh Iyer 'Excited' To Play Under New KKR Mentor Gautam Gambhir

Venkatesh Iyer is one of the emerging stars of Indian cricket, who has quickly made a name for himself in the Indian Premier League. Iyer joined the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise in the year 2021 and has become one of the most consistent performers for the team since then. Iyer has become one of the integral parts of the team and is among KKR’s top-five scorers in the last 3 seasons, amassing 956 runs for them in 36 games.

Venkatesh Iyer ‘Excited’ To Play Under New KKR Mentor Gautam Gambhir

The Kolkata-based franchise is all set to start their campaign in the IPL 2024 on March 23 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at their home ground. Ahead of their campaign starter, Venkatesh talked about former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir as their new head coach. He hailed Gambhir as an amazing ‘leader and tactician’. Speaking at the KKR pre-season camp, Iyer said:

“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.”

Furthermore, Venkatesh Iyer opened up about KKR’s captain Shreyas Iyer backing his bowling and how he is preparing him for the upcoming challenges. Venkatesh Iyer revealed:
“The domestic tournaments help build confidence of executing your best balls under pressure situations. I have got a lot of confidence in my skills and once you’re confident about your skills, then the execution part becomes easy. Whenever the captain would want me to bowl an over or two, I’ll always be there. Shreyas has always had that confidence in me and he trusts that I can get the job done for the team in pressure situations.”
