If Shreyas Iyer is out of IPL, this player can become captain, KKR has 3 options

New Delhi: Indian Premier League 2023 is starting from 31 March. All the teams have started preparing for the tournament. For this new season of IPL, all the teams have also started their training camp. However, before this, a big difficulty has arisen in front of the league’s strong team Kolkata Knight Riders. KKR captain Shreyas Iyer has been injured during the Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia. Iyer suffered a back injury due to which he could not even bat in the last Test.

Due to this injury, Iyer is also considered doubtful to play in the three ODI series against Australia starting from 17 March. At the same time, it is also being said that it is difficult to say whether he can be fully fit before the upcoming season of IPL. In such a situation, Iyer’s injury has become a big problem for KKR. In such a situation, if Iyer does not take the field for KKR in IPL 2023, then who are these three players who can handle the captaincy.

Tim Southee

In the absence of Shreyas Iyer, New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee can take charge of KKR. Saudi also has the experience of captaining the Kiwi team. He has captained New Zealand on several occasions in place of the regular captain. Saudi has a lot of experience playing for different teams in the Indian Premier League. He has played a total of 52 matches in this league so far. During this, he has taken 45 wickets in his name. In such a situation, Saudi can be a good option as the captain of KKR in place of Iyer.

andre russell

West Indies explosive all-rounder Andre Russell can also take over the captaincy of KKR in place of Iyer. Russell has been KKR’s most experienced and reliable player. He has been associated with the team for a long time. Russell has made a lot of noise in batting as well as bowling for his team. In such a situation, if Russell is given the captaincy in place of Iyer, then there should be no surprise in it. Russell has played a total of 98 matches in the IPL so far, in which he scored 2035 runs and took 89 wickets.

Nitish Rana

Apart from this, Nitish Rana can also be an option for captaincy. Nitish has also been playing for KKR for a long time. Apart from this, he also has captaincy experience in domestic cricket. Being associated with KKR for a long time, he also has a good understanding of the team. He has so far scored 2181 runs in 91 matches in this league.

Squad of KKR-

Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Nitish Rana, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakraborty, Anukul Roy, Rinku Singh, Narayan Jagadeesan, Vaibhav Arora , Suyash Sharma, David Wise, Kulwant Khejroliya, Mandeep Singh, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan.
