'Go4more' has been the Kolkata Knight Riders' tag line leading into IPL 8. With two titles in the last three seasons, Gautam Gambhir and Co. have shown the resilience and killer instinct needed to mould the side into a champion unit. How else would one describe their record nine-match winning streak that saw them clinch the title in 2014? That too after two wins from their first seven matches. Gambhir calls it the "KKR spirit", but it is also about the belief and the confidence that has been drilled into the side. The Knight Riders captain harped on this element as they launch their campaign against Mumbai Indians at the Eden, on Wednesday. Sunil Narine's clearance will give them a spring in their steps. The off-spinner has been an integral part of Knight Riders' plans and it's his four overs that can make all the difference in this format. To the untrained eye, it is difficult to pinpoint any subtle changes to his remodelled action, but Narine seems at ease with himself. However, whether he remains equally effective will be something that will be followed with keen interest around the world. "We all will see that tomorrow, but he's a quality player, a quality individual and a tough guy. All these things will come to his advantage," said Gambhir.
