Kolkata Knight Riders have confirmed Shreyas Iyer's replacement as captain for IPL 2023.

He can also contribute with his part-time off-spin bowling. Notably, the southpaw isn't alien to the leadership role as he has led Delhi's state team in the domestic circuit. Going with Rana could be safe As only four overseas players can feature in an XI, going with a foreign skipper can be risky. Moreover, neither Shakib nor Southee has been certain starters in IPL. Hence, if Iyer misses out, the KKR management could go with Rana, who has been associated with the team for the last five seasons. Last year, he accumulated 361 runs in 14 games (SR: 143.82).
