Statement – “The boys do a lot of fielding. The fielding coach James [Foster] is excellent; arguably one of the best fielding coaches in the world. He rides the boys pretty hard. There is a lot of ground fielding and catching. He makes sure the boys are ready for the game. He ensures they are nice and comfortable under high balls and flat balls.”
KKR to a mix start – While the KKR started the season on high by beating defending champions CSK in the first match of the IPL, while they suffrerd a defeat in the second encounter against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The third encounter saw them return to winning ways as they beat Punjab Kings by six wickets.
Sheldon on the bench for third match – While things didn’t go according to the plan for Sheldon as he was dismissed for a duck and an unbeaten 3-run innings, he will once again try to get back into the mould of the team.
