Shreyas Iyer was the highest run-scorer for KKR in IPL 2022, and even though the side could not qualify for the playoffs, his captaincy skills were much appreciated. Hence Iyer will be a big miss for the two-time champions. However, things must go on, and KKR need to find a new skipper. Here are three players who can lead KKR in Iyer's absence. Nitish Rana might be an odd choice to become captain of such a big IPL side. However, the extra responsibility might just enhance Rana's game given his spot in KKR's batting order is sealed. He has captained Delhi at the first-class level, and will be a like-for-like replacement as an Indian batting captain.

Kolkata Knight Riders have confirmed Shreyas Iyer's replacement as captain for IPL 2023. KKR have named 29-year-old Indian batter Nitish Rana as his replacement instead of going for an overseas pick like Andre Russell or Sunil Narine, who are legends of the Kolkata-based outfit. Rana has been part of KKR since the 2018 season. "While we are hopeful that Shreyas will recover and participate at some stage in the IPL 2023 edition, we feel fortunate that Nitish, with the captaincy experience of having led his state side in white-ball cricket and the IPL experience he has had with KKR since 2018, will do a great job," KKR said in a statement. "We are also confident that under head coach Chandrakant Pandit and the support staff, he will get all the support needed off the field, and the highly experienced leaders in the squad will provide all support that Nitish may need on the field. We wish him the best in his new role and Shreyas a full and speedy recovery," they added. Rana is KKR's fifth-highest run-getter in history, having scored 1744 runs in 74 matches at an average of 27.68. He has captained Delhi in domestic cricket for a number of years, and that experience will come in handy for KKR. The left-handed batter has played a total of 1 ODI and 2 T20Is for Team India, all of which came in the Men in Blue's white-ball tour of Sri Lanka in 2021.

The 24-year-old faced After the RCB clash, the Knight Riders will fly to Ahmedabad on April 9 to take on the Gujarat Titans (GT). Perennially criticized for overlooking local talent, KKR are likely to again summon Gharami once they are back in their den. Sportskeeda understands that KKR will come to a decision around the 13th of this month, before their home game against the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 14. Sudip Gharami’s first day with KKR coincided with the Kolkata-based franchise signing England opening batter How did Sudip Gharami perform in the latest season of domestic cricket? Since making his Bengal debut in the 2019/20 Ranji Trophy final, Sudip Gharami has impressed everyone with his sound technique coupled with a truckload of runs. Batting at No. 3, Gharami finished the latest Ranji season as the sixth highest run-getter – 803 runs at an average of 50.18, with three centuries and five fifties to boot. He also topped Bengal’s batting charts in the

Post that match, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma didn't sound too optimistic about Iyer's condition. The right-hander won't be available for the ODI series against the Aussies either. If #1 Mohammed Azharuddeen 28-year-old wicketkeeper batter Mohammed Azharuddeen, who represents Kerla on the domestic circuit, could be a good option for KKR. Azharuddeen, whose base price at the auction was Rs. 20 lakh, was overlooked by the franchises. He has featured in 38 T20s, scoring 741 runs at a strike-rate of 134.97. Azharuddeen smashed a 37-ball century in the 2020-21 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against a strong Mumbai outfit. He was bought by #2 Jagadeesha Suchith Another player who had his base price set at Rs. 20 Lakh, Jagadeesha Suchith, is an all-rounder from Karnataka. Suchith has featured in 22 IPL games in the past for In the 22 games that he has played, Suchith has scored only 70 runs at a poor strike of 114.75. However, he has a better record with the ball, having picked up 19 wickets, albeit at an economy rate of 8.6. Suchith has a lot of experience in the domestic arena, which could be useful for KKR. #3 Priyam Garg 22-year-old Priyam Garg, who led India in the 2020 ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup, went unsold in the mini-auction in December despite a price tag of only Rs. 20 Lakh. Garg has previously featured in the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad, but without much success. Garg's numbers in T20 cricket aren't mightily impressive, as he has a strike-rate of just 115.35 after 44 games. H...

In 2021, he scored 150 runs, including a half-century, in five games. The England opener has played 64 T20Is for England, scoring 1,522 runs at a strike-rate of 137.61 with eight fifties.
