The runners-up of the previous season of IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders have announced Shreyas Iyer as their captain for this season of IPL. The right-handed middle-order batsman who led Delhi Capitals in the 2020 IPL season has been bought by KKR and given the charge of captaincy for this season of IPL.
Iyer who is one of the reasons behind the rapid success of the DC franchise for many seasons may his remarkable captaincy skills can work for KKR too.
Despite being packed with full of experience and emerging players in KKR, Iyer has been given this opportunity just because of his calmness and his situation absorbing skills are what KKR needs the most. Eoin Morgan who led the team in the previous season has also some justified captaincy skills but the lack of his form and zero contribution for the team with his bat made the franchise lead him to go before the 2022 IPL season.
