He was one of the best bowling coaches and had a great time with the Indian team. He has a huge wealth of experience and has fine tuned our skills,&#8221; said Morne, who is the leading wicket taker in the IPL with 19 wickets.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Daredevils, who finished last in the 2011 edition, have been the most dominating team this season and are sitting on top of the table with 16 points from 10 matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Simmons experience is being reflected on the performance of the team. The fast bowlers are hunting in a pack and we are enjoying each others success,&#8221; said Morne on the sidelines of a promotional event held by fast food chain Fasttrax.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Morne said that Daredevils are looking forward to their much awaited clash with Kolkata Knight Riders here Monday. The match will be home-coming of sort for Knight Riders captain and local boy Gautam Gambhir.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is going to be a crucial match for us. The clash between the two top teams will always be entertaining. Knight Riders are doing well this season and Gautam is also in good form,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Asked if fan loyalty will be split Monday, Morne said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think so. Gambhir can be the local but Daredevils are the home team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old also feels that Daredevils, who are on a four-match winning streak, won&#8217;t be complacent when they face Knight Riders.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IPL is a long tournament. Intensity may fall but surely we won&#8217;t be complacent. The guys are matured and professional. We know how to handle such situations,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Morkel&#8217;s Daredevils team mate <a href=\"search.html?cx=partner-pub-2004395898380537%3A5221044443&amp;cof=FORID%3A10&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=Irfan+Pathan&amp;sa=Search&amp;siteurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiansportsnews.com%2Ftop-stories%2F13093-endurance-cship-chandhok-records-eight-fastest-time-.html\" title=\"http:\/\/www.indiansportsnews.com\/search.html?cx=partner-pub-2004395898380537%3A5221044443&amp;cof=FORID%3A10&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=Irfan+Pathan&amp;sa=Search&amp;siteurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiansportsnews.com%2Ftop-stories%2F13093-endurance-cship-chandhok-records-eight-fastest-time-.html\">Irfan Pathan<\/a> also concurred and said the team is focussed on extending their winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have experienced players in the team and there will be no complacency factor. We have worked hard and will continue our good run in the tournament. Winning is a good habit,&#8221; said Pathan.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With three Delhi players, Gambhir, Rajat Bhatia and Pradeep Sangwan, in the Knight Riders team, Pathan said it would be a tough match.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are quite a few Delhi players in the Knight Riders team.
