Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan credited his side for showing great character to bounce back from a poor start to its IPL campaign.
“I’m extremely proud of the fight that we showed. We didn’t start the tournament as well as we would have liked, but the comeback epitomised the fight and character of our team.
“We must thank the owner Shah Rukh Khan and the team management for supporting us. We also had overriding support from our fans, who stood by us even after the first phase of the IPL,” Morgan said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
The other men’s semifinal Friday is Norway’s Casper Ruud, twice the runner-up in Paris — to Rafael Nadal in 2022 and to Novak Djokovic in 2023 — against Germany’s Alexander Zverev, a finalist at the 2020 U.S. Open, an Olympic gold medalist and into the final four at Roland Garros for the fourth consecutive year.
