IPL 2019, KXIP vs KKR: Dinesh Karthik reveals reason behind animated reaction during strategic time-out

India TV News  

Whoever followed the IPL 2019 match between Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday, must have seen KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik react in a way that has seldom been seen on our screens. If I feel I need to be angry to get the best out of the boys, then maybe," Karthik said after his team's seven wicket win over KXIP. KKR fast bowler Sandeep Warrier said that the skipper was urging his men to be on toes during crunch situations. "Back of the length was a bit hard to hit as the ball was not coming onto the bat pretty easily, so I stuck to this with the new ball and it worked," the 28-year-old bowler from Kerala said.
