Gavaskar Feels Kumble's Fighting Spirit Has Been Transferred To KXIP

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) have surely turned on the heat with consecutive wins in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar feels that head coach Anil Kumble's fighting spirit has been the main reason behind the success of KL Rahul-led side.

KXIP had a very unfortunate start in the showpiece event as their first game was tied which they eventually lost in the Super Over. The Rahul-led side came back strong in the next game but kept on choking afterwards. They lost a match which was almost in their hands against Kolkata knight Riders.

With only one win in the last seven games, playoffs looked like an uphill task but KXIP turned the tide won four successive games.
