Whatmore confident

“He was the skipper. Obviously, we will miss him as he is a very good player. It is just a little unfortunate as his injury happened during the Test series in England. That was an unavoidable situation. We just try to get on with it as best as we can,” Whatmore said on Wednesday.

Appreciating the contribution of Jacques Kallis, who will now lead KKR in Gambhir’s absence, he said the the team is looking forward towards the years of experience that he will bring to the table. “(Jaques) Kallis was vice-captain in IPL-IV. He was terrific. He came up with some good ideas. We look forward to him leading us,” Whatmore said.
