Having played under both Gautam Gambhir and now Dinesh Karthik at Kolkata Knight Riders, Robin Uthappa feels that both have the characteristics required for a captain in a tournament like the IPL.
“Gauti and DK are very different personalities. DK is someone who thinks a lot, who likes a lot of information but at the same time he leaves enough room for instinct as a captain to be proactive and make decisions, which is wonderful,” said Uthappa .
“Gauti has been more of an instinctive captain. He has been naturally very proactive as a captain. So both are very different personalities but still have the most important characteristics required as a captain in this format.”
Uthappa top-scored with 48 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday night to help the Knights defeat Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets.
