KKR’s Player Retention and Release Updates, Kolkata Knight Riders Squad for IPL 2024: The prospect of reaching the IPL playoffs remains a distant memory for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the two-time IPL champions who have faced challenges in progressing beyond the league stage in the last two IPL editions. In IPL 2023, KKR concluded their campaign with a defeat against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) during the group stage, securing the seventh position on the points table.
KKR found themselves grappling with multiple issues, including a perplexing batting order and underperforming fast bowlers. Throughout the 14 league stage games in IPL 2023, KKR experimented with eight different opening combinations, none of which proved successful. They commenced with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Mandeep Singh but concluded with Jason Roy and Venkatesh Iyer as the opening duo in their final fixture.
