KKR opener Venkatesh Iyer has credited the side’s terrific turnaround in the second leg of the IPL to the positive intent shown on and off the field by the players and management. After an underwhelming first half where they lost five of their seven games, KKR won all nine of their matches in the second leg at UAE. 

“The brand of cricket that the KKR is playing and by KKR I just don’t mean the cricketers who are playing out there, but the entire management. The way we are thinking, the way we are going about the things that are the real turnaround for us,” Iyer told KKR chief mentor David Hussey in a video posted on IPL’s website. “The intent we are showing not just on the field, but off the field is that what brought us here,” he added.
