The result notwithstanding the Champions League has been an absolutely awesome experience for all my team-mates.

We need to show everybody that we are capable of beating any team on our day and we would like to improve our standing in the points table, says the Kolkata Knight Riders skipper.

I would ask our fans in Kolkata and elsewhere to just stay true and believe in us. We need the good faith and support of all you guys if we need to pull things back in our favour, says Brendon McCullum.

Sadly, the script went horribly wrong in the last three balls, and it was as though a win was stolen from us. Coming into the last over, we were in a good position but things went awry, and finally it was a tie, writes the Knight Riders skipper.

My job this time is to harness this wonderful talent pool which has the best mix of talent and youth among all the teams, writes the agressive New Zealander.
