IPL 2024 KKR got a big shock, because KKR's star player was out of IPL
Kolkata Knight Riders got a big blow in the Indian Premier League 2024, the KKR team is not performing as well as we have been seeing for the last several seasons. There, KKR has suffered another blow.
Let me tell you that IPL 2024 is going to start from 22nd March and before that a big news has come which is not at all good for the KR team. But where the team was not considered so strong recently, this time Gautam Gambhir is associated with them, so it is believed that this time the KKR team can be much stronger. Especially when Mitchell Starc has also joined their team.
But now there is a big shock because if we tell you, we know that Jason Roy is an amazing player, he has performed amazingly for England and also in IPL, who used to open for KKR. Now that Jason Roy is out of the team, he dropped his name due to personal reasons.
Talking about 2023, Jason Roy had a very good performance, scoring a total of 285 runs. The way he plays, he is a good opener and I think KKR may suffer a heavy loss somewhere. Because for any team or any franchise, losing an opener makes the team a little unbalanced. Because if it comes to middle order or lower order, one thing can be adjusted, but when it comes to openers, the team gets a little imbalanced.
But let us tell you that along with them, replacement has also been announced, and the replacement that has been done, and it is being said that a very good replacement has been announced. Phil Salt has now joined the KKR squad in place of Jason Roy. If we talk about Phil Salt, Phil Salt also does the opening. Apart from this, he also does part-time wicket-keeping occasionally and his recent form is very good. Recently in December, when England played the T20 series with West Indies, he scored two back to back consecutive centuries in two consecutive matches. One of which was the century which was the joint fastest by England. In such a situation, he is in very good form. If we tell you, at this time we can say that the replacement announced is very wonderful, because Phil Salt is in very amazing form. Because on one hand there has been a loss by losing Jason Roy, while on the other hand there has been a benefit by having Phil Salt in the team.
