Ahead of the season, the two-time champions received a big blow. Skipper Shreyas Iyer has suffered a back injury that is likely to keep him out of action atleast for the first-half of IPL. The franchise is now looking for captaincy options with Sunil Narine emerging as a potential stand-in captain.

The West Indian has led KKR’s sister franchise Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the recently concluded ILT20.  The announcement of KKR’s new skipper is expected in a few days. Meanwhile, pacer Lockie Ferguson is likely to miss a few games of IPL due to a hamstring injury.

Lockie Ferguson was traded from Gujarat Titans ahead of this season. He was supposed to play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka ahead of IPL. However he has been ruled out following his injury that puts his participation for IPL in doubt.
