Chandrakant Pandit | Head coach, KKR: The destination is very far for us in this season. We still have six matches and it is important that we win all six of these matches. I wonāt say it is difficult but we have to pull up our socks and fight till the last match. (On difference in coaching domestic and IPL) At this level, a lot of players are experienced and have big reputations, so spending some time with them and including them in strategies and planning is important as a coach. However, in domestic cricket we get about 12 months with the players, and we get a greater chance to interact with them. Here however there are back-to-back games, and of course thereās traveling and other commitments. So I feel managing the team is the most important. (On whether Russell is underutilized) I feel as a coach and as team management, whatever plans we take are for the better of the team. Andre is the kind of guy that can turn a game at any moment, so we are waiting for that so that he can fulfill his role. Hopefully, he will come good but it is important to say that at this moment everybody will have suggestions on Russell but it is important we stick to the plans.
