The KKR bowling coach sounded very optimistic ahead of his team's clash against table toppers Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens on Saturday. "However I look at it the other way around. We may get to number one. That's also possible," said Balaji on the eve of their last round match against table leaders Mumbai Indians. "You normally live your life with circumstances and opportunities. I think the opportunity decides who you are and where you come from and what you're doing. Everything is decided by the circumstances and the situations. There's another opportunity to decide where we are heading towards in this tournament," Balaji said in a philosophical tone. Records are also stacked heavily against Knight Riders as they have lost four matches in a row against Mumbai in a lopsided 5-14 overall record as Balaji hoped for a new beginning come tomorrow. "When you play eight teams there will definitely be one extreme to another. In the past there's always a new beginning with opportunity. There will be another opportunity which may change the future. That opportunity is up to us decide." Balaji pointed out that the team was bonding well, a key ingredient to get success. "We have been in a good space within ourselves, enjoying each other's company, the friendship, the cultural exchanges, all these things are important in a tournament where you are out of house and family for six weeks. It's important to have a binding team." The former Knight said they have all their bases covered and have a strong bench strength. "We have found our ways to manage our ways to position right now. We had a little bit of hiccups with individual injuries but I think the team has showed character." KKR failed to chase a modest 168 to go down to Kings XI Punjab in their last match. "We have defended low totals as well as chased down big totals. The team has done well in majority of games." "I'm sure in rest of the games there will not be big changes in our brand of cricket. We will stick to what we can control and what comes to us naturally." Meanwhile the hosts had a slight hiccup as fast bowler is doubtful for tomorrows match. Coulter-Nile was not seen in practice on Friday as he sustained an injury during KKR's home game against Rising Pune Supergiant. The Australian has so far played six matches and has taken 11 wickets. KKR vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav also picked up a knock while training on Friday. On the injury update to pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile, Balaji said: "It's up to medical staff to decide. I will reserve my comments on that."
