Gambhir has been leading from the front by scoring 457 runs so far in the ongoing edition.

"If someone has to change the game, it should be Kallis or me. We don't want (Brendon) McCullum or Yusuf Pathan to change the game. It's our responsibility because we are the experienced guys," Gambhir said on Monday.

"You don't want them to stop playing their natural game. The guys like me and Kallis need to change the game and that is what responsibility and experience is all about."

KKR thrashed Delhi Daredevils by six wickets in a lopsided contest in Delhi on Monday to emerge as table-toppers in the IPL. They now have 17 points and are almost assured of a place in the knock-out stage.
