Kolkata not to take Hyderabad lightly

Hyderabad: Deccan Chargers might be struggling to arrest their losing streak in the ongoing IPL but Kolkata Knight Riders are not in any mood to take them lightly in Sunday's clash, David Hussey said on Saturday.

"The Hyderabad team can come up with an impressive performance as it has players like Adam Gilchrist and Herchelle Gibbs who can change the course of the game with their skills," Hussey, who spoke to the media instead of captain Sourav Ganguly, said

"Besides, the Twenty 20 matches can spring surprises too," he added.

The Hyderabad team has won only two of the eight matches it has played so far. Knight Riders are also struggling as they have scored three victories in seven matches.

Hussey said the confidence of his team is high after its victory over Bangalore Royal Challengers at Kolkata and the team is hoping to continue with the winning ways.

The Australian, who is the highest run-getter for the Knight Riders in the IPL T20 tournament, expressed confidence that the team could pile up a big total to mount pressure on the opponent.
