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.
