Buoyed by back-to-back victories in Indian Premier League (IPL), the Kolkata team is confident of keeping up the momentum to win the gruelling tourney.
Both skipper Sourav Ganguly and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose Red Chillies Entertainment owns the side, feel that the good start augurs well for the team.
"We have started well and hope to continue this trend," Ganguly said.
Echoing Ganguly, the matinee idol said, "We have to continue to do well in the coming matches."
The team crushed Rahul Dravid-led Bangalore squad by 140 runs in the tournament lung opener on Friday and followed it up with a five-wicket win over Deccan Chargers captained by VVS Laxman on Sunday.
Asked to name the team which he considered the toughest competitor for Kolkata, Shah Rukh promptly replied, "We are the toughest competitor for all other teams".
"But our coach has told the players that they have to deliver the best to succeed in the tournament. The team has to work hard."
"I have got a bunch of boys who are honest, sincere and die hard," he said at the launch of the official timewear for his side.
On whether he was nervous when his team was losing wickets quickly, he said, "I never feel nervous. Sometimes I feel sad and sometimes I become sentimental. I want them (the players) to do their best."
