Kolkata Knight Riders will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening game of the IPL 2024 as the two sides meet at the Eden Gardens. The Men in Purple failed to reach the playoffs last season and they will be eager to make amendments this time around.
Their squad has been bolstered with the return of their skipper Shreyas Iyer. Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir has also returned to the two-time champions as the mentor. The Knight Riders have a strong squad but their fate might rely on the wickets they could get at the Eden Gardens.
Shreyas Iyer (C), Phil Salt, Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Suyash Sharma, Anukul Roy, Andre Russell, Varun Chakaravarthy, KS Bharat, Chetan Sakariya, Venkatesh Iyer, Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Mitchell Starc, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Dushmantha Chameera, Ramandeep Singh, Sherfane Rutherford, Manish Pandey, and Sakib Hussain.
Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana, and Rinku Singh are going to be the key batters for the KKR. Meanwhile, Mitchell Starc and Varun Chakravarthy are going to be the main bowlers for the Kolkata-based franchise.
