Kolkata Knight Riders created headlines by picking the costliest buy ever Mitchell Starc in the IPL auction history for a huge price of ₹24.75 crores. KKR had a huge job of revamping their side by picking many players in the auction table as they retained only 13 players from the squad for the 2024 IPL from the previous season.
Kolkata Knight Riders Probable XI for IPL 2024
Here, in this article, we will have a look at KKR's probable playing XI in IPL 2024.
Openers: Jason Roy and Venkatesh Iyer
Jason Roy was impressive for KKR in the last IPL season as he scored 285 from 8 innings at an impressive strike rate of 151.59 which included a knock of 61 runs from 26 balls against CSK and a knock off scoring 56 runs from 29 balls against RCB.
Venkatesh Iyer could be considered to open for KKR in the IPL 2024 season, as the Kolkata franchise tried too many players in that spot but failed to get a proper player in the spot. He was impressive for KKR in IPL 2021 as an opener.
