RCB vs KKR: Why is Suyash Sharma Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match? Check KKR Playing XI

It’s time for the first reverse fixture of IPL 2023 being played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. KKR are in a desperate need of a win particularly after 4 losses on the trot and have made some significant changes to their eleven, including young leg spinner Suyash Sharma.

RCB vs KKR: Why is Suyash Sharma Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

In what seems to be a shocking decision, the Kolkata Knight Riders have let go Suyash Sharma from the starting 11. The young leggie who made his IPL debut earlier this season against this very opposition claimed 3 wickets and broke the back of RCB’s chase. AS KKR are batting first, Suyash is among the substituted players, this means he will most probably get into the eleven once KKR fields in the second innings. Check out what Kolkata Knight Riders’ skipper Nitish Rana said at the toss,

“Second half of the tournament has started, it’s an important game. We’ve played some good cricket, some not so good. It’s time to step up. If we play well collectively, the result will be in our favour. In previous games, we’ve had forced changes. Shardul had a niggle, Gurbaz had a niggle. We were going to bat. One change from the last match – Vaibhav Arora comes in for Kulwant.”
