Kolkata: They might be high on confidence following their seven-match winning streak, but Kolkata Knight Riders coach Trevor Bayliss on Monday said his team will have to stay grounded and perform well in order to make the final.
“It’s very similar to two years ago in 2012. We’re on a high coming into the semis (playoffs). We are in a good space but that does not necessarily mean that we will win. To give yourself a chance in the semis you got to be playing good, confident cricket. We’re playing against some very good teams,” Bayliss said on the eve of the first Qualifier match between Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders Qualifier.
He, however, said they were not taking anyone lightly and even a player like Virender Sehwag, who seemed to have lost his prime, could be dangerous.
