Going into the second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the UAE, Kolkata Knight Riders chief mentor David Hussey revealed his expectations from several of the team members, including captain Eoin Morgan. Hussey stated that he expects Morgan to lead from the front and put in some big performances. Speaking to kkr.in during a pre-season interview, Hussey said, “He is the captain. He is going to lead from the front. We are going to need some big performances from him. He is probably in the hardest position to play in, being in the middle order. So, when you come in, you are either in deep trouble or you are coming with three or four balls to go when your top order’s done really well,”
Hussey also wants Morgan to direct the squad in terms of leadership. KKR are languishing in seventh position in the IPL 2021 points table, with two wins from their seven games played so far.
