"Frankly speaking, I didn't meet or interact with KP before this IPL. But people had said a lot of stuff about his ego and so on. But I have not seen that part of him. So I don't know what people mean when they speak about that part of him," De Kock said during a media interaction on the sidelines of Daredevils' practice session.
De Kock on his own admission is finding it more comfortable adjusting to the Daredevils set-up having been in the Sunrisers Hyderabad dug-out in the previous season.
"Obviously, it helps being around with familiar faces. I feel a lot more comfortable with Gary (Kirsten) and Rob (assistant coach Rob Walters) around. Lucky to be around people whom I know.
"In Sunrisers, there were a lot of Australians in their support staff. Having said that, I am not saying, I was uncomfortable in Hyderabad," he said.
"I really don't mind keeping wickets whenever they want me to do so. If they think that I am a fine outfielder, I don't really mind.
