After a disappointing campaign in IPL 2023, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to turn the tide in the upcoming IPL 2024 season. Stepping into the captaincy role will be Shreyas Iyer, who missed out on leading the team in the previous season. With a fresh outlook and renewed determination, Iyer is poised to guide the franchise to greater heights, instilling a sense of purpose and strategy to propel KKR back into contention.
The franchise boasts a formidable squad, brimming with T20I batting prowess. The likes of Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana bring skill and flair to the team, setting the stage for an explosive batting lineup. T20I specialists such as Andre Russell and Sunil Narine further fortify KKR’s arsenal, making them a force to be reckoned with. Notably, the franchise has made a significant investment of INR 24.75 crore to secure the services of Mitchell Starc, a move aimed at bolstering their bowling lineup.
