Written by Vishwas Gupta

Newly-appointed Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Nitish Rana was quite confident in his first media appearance as he made it clear that captaincy is nothing new to him and he is ready for the responsibility given to him and will deliver results for the side in the upcoming IPL.

“I have been playing the leadership role for the last 2-3 years, it’s just that I got the captaincy tag but it’s nothing new to me. I like to take responsibility and, hopefully, I will be able to deliver,” Nitish said in a press conference in Kolkata on Tuesday.

“There is responsibility and I like to take responsibility. I don’t like to follow anyone. I want to lead the side my way and take the team forward.

“Man management is important because at the end of the day, it is a game of cricket,” he added.

“Everybody has a different style of captaincy. There is something to learn from everyone, but for my style you will have to wait and see and talk about it,” he said.
