MUMBAI: Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) head coach Brendon McCullum hailed his team for the character it showed in bouncing back from five successive losses to come up with a clinical all-round performance in the seven-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL)at the Wankhede Stadium here.
After starting with a win against defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the opener on March 26, KKR lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore but won the next two matches against Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians. They then went through a five-match losing run, going down twice to Delhi Capitals and once each to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans.
