IPL 2024: Shreyas Iyer’s Possible Absence Sparks Captaincy Speculation for KKR
IPL 2024: Shreyas Iyer’s Possible Absence Sparks Captaincy Speculation for KKR
With the growing excitement for the 2024 Indian Premier League, the revelation that skipper Shreyas Iyer would miss the season could be a blow for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Iyer’s absence from the most recent IPL season makes this potentially a serious blow for KKR. The rumors that Iyer would miss the 2024 Indian Premeire League bring up questions in regards to KKR’s captaincy after Nitish Rana took over as team leader in Iyer’s place during the past season.
After a break from the Indian team, Shreyas Iyer is presently contending in the Ranji Trophy. Remorsefully, he supported a back sickness during this time, which kept him from playing in the Ranji Trophy 2023-24 quarterfinals as a result of back fits. Iyer’s sickness is believed to be sufficiently serious to influence his accessibility for the 2024 IPL and could deteriorate past the Ranji Trophy. The fans and Kolkata Knight Riders are profoundly disheartened by this news.
Shreyas Iyer’s IPL 2024 Prospects at Stake
The current form slump of Shreyas Iyer is a cause for concern. Iyer was a member of the Indian side for a long time, but he did not have a significant influence; in 13 Test innings, he did not score a single half-century. He was rested after just two Test matches versus England. Although at first it was assumed that his rest was because of his long tenure with the squad, his play eventually indicated form problems, which resulted in his removal.

India and England are presently playing a five-match test series, with India driving the series 2-1 after three games. For the two groups, the impending Ranchi test, which starts on February 23, India needs to win to capture the series, and England needs to win to qualify for the next round. For players like Shreyas Iyer, the Ranchi test will be a crucial opportunity to demonstrate their skills and perhaps influence their future commitments, including the 2024 Indian Premier League.
