Kolkata Knight Riders players Andre Russell, Rahul Tripathi, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana and others feature in the jersey reveal video posted by the franchise on Saturday. They are seen flaunting their new threads at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata in the 27-second clip. The jersey looks almost similar to that of the previous season.
KKR will get their campaign underway from 1st April 2023. The team will face Punjab Kings in their first match of the season that will take place at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. KKR’s first home game is scheduled on 6th April (Thursday) against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
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.
