Watson has joined KKR as assistant coach while Russell has taken on the role of power coach. \u201cHaving them in the dugout is a blessing. I want to make the most of it and absorb as much as I can from them. I also hope I can emulate their success in the crucial, match-defining moments for the team,\u201d said Ramandeep in a statement issued by the franchise on Thursday. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ramandeep, 28, joined KKR in 2024 and was part of the side that lifted their third IPL trophy. Since then, he has scored 172 runs at a strike rate of 167.9 and taken six wickets. He also impressed in the 2025 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, hitting 209 runs at a strike rate of 195 and claiming nine wickets in 10 matches for his state Punjab.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"My approach for this year is very situation-oriented. I am working on my understanding of potential scenarios every time I step in to bat, I am also trying to understand how the pitch is evolving and playing the right shots accordingly,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ramandeep, who made two T20I appearances for India in 2024, added that he was keen to contribute with the ball in the season. \u201cIf given the opportunity, I want to deliver as a bowler too, because I believe I have the capability to be an all-rounder. I am going to give my best on the field, and I am hopeful the results will follow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThis is something I have been working on over the past year. I want to play the situation, not just entertain. My goal is to be a match-winner, and for that, it does not matter what people are saying on social media or elsewhere. My only focus is on improving my skills every day.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
