IPL 2023: Best Predicted Playing 11 Of Kolkata Knight Riders For IPL 2023

KKR Best Predicted Playing 11 For IPL 2023.

KKR did very well in IPL 2021. but their performance took a dip in IPL 2022. The team played the season with a different captain in the form of Shreyas Iyer who led Delhi Capitals in the previous seasons.

However, KKR will move into the 2023 season with many new faces, and it is expected that the result too, will be different.

Here’s Is The Best Predicted Playing 11 Of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) For IPL 2023:

KKR Squad Composition For IPL 2023

Batters: Mandeep Singh, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh & Shreyas Iyer (c)

WKs: Litton Das (o), N Jagadeesan & Rahmanullah Gurbaz (o)

All-rounders: Andre Russell (o), Anukul Roy, David Wisse (o), Shakib Al Hasan (o), Sunil Narine (o) & Venkatesh Iyer

Bowlers: Harshit Rana, Kulwant Kejroliya, Lockie Ferguson (o), Shardul Thakur, Suyash Sharma, Tim Southee (o), Umesh Yadav, Vaibhav Arora & Varun Chakravarthy 

KKR Best Predicted Playing 11 For IPL 2023

Openers: Rahmanullah Gurbaz [wk] & Venkatesh Iyer

Not a single player in KKR is having a guaranteed spot as an opener. However, Venkatesh Iyer, who has the ability to open the innings, is likely to join hands with Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbazwas for the opening role. Litton Das and N. Jagadeesan are the other openers that KKR could try in place of Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

Middle-order: Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer [c] & Rinku Singh

Shreyas Iyer should retain his original position at number 4, Nitish Rana should play at number 3, and Rinku Singh should play as a finisher at number 5. Rinku can play at number 6 too if Russell is sent before him.

Lower-order: Andre Russell & Sunil Narine

Russell can bat at number 5 or 6 depending on the position of the team, and Sunil Narine is likely to bat at number 7. Shakib AL Hasan or David Wiese are also strong contenders for the number 7 spot.

Bowlers: Shardul Thakur, Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav & Varun Chakravarthy

KKR had earlier traded Shardul Thakur and Lockie Ferguson from Delhi and Gujarat respectively. These two bowlers along with Umesh Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy can make KKR’s bowling line-up very lethal. 

The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League will be starting from March 31 and the last league match will be played on May 21. Defending Champions Gujarat Titans will be facing Chennai Super Kings in the opening encounter.
