With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 set to resume, David Hussey, chief mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has hailed Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana for their displays for the team. The KKR opening duo is crucial to the franchise’s ambitions in the UAE this year. Hussey said that the duo can “shock the world” with their displays. Speaking to kkr.in during a pre-season interview, Hussey said, “Both quality players. Both quality people too. They are both determined to do very well for this team and themselves. Both have had a taste of international cricket and I think they are about to shock the world that they are the next generation of Indian players.”
“Not just for one or two series. They are there for a decade, long time. If they get going, look out for us at the IPL”, he further added.
