IPL 2025: Like Dhoni And Kohli, Rahane Is A Role Model For KKR, Says Assistant Coach Ottis Gibson
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Ottis Gibson, the assistant coach of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), cited skipper Ajinkya Rahane as a batting role model for the team, adding that the veteran batter is very much equal to stalwarts like M.S. Dhoni and Virat Kohli.
So far, Rahane has scored 204 runs in six matches at an average of 40.8 and a strike-rate of 154.54. Under his leadership, KKR are currently in third place in the points table, after outclassing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by eight wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.
"Quite often, when I'm working with teams and young players, we often look at our role models. We often look at another team for somebody else, and it might be MS Dhoni, it might be (Virat) Kohli.”
