Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer on Sunday played the first intra-squad practice match. However, Iyer did not appear to be in a peach of a form as he scored 22 off 19 balls. The KKR captain did not look too confident as he gave away his wicket to KKR spinner Suyash Sharma after struggling in the middle for a while.
