KKR IPL 2024 Playing 11: Which is Kolkata Knight Riders Best Possible 11 For Indian Premier League Season 17?

KKR have won IPL twice and Gambhir was the captain on both the occasions.

Also, Shreyas Iyer, who missed out on the previous season due to back injury, will be seen leading the franchise once again. Nitish Rana, KKR’s captain last season, has been named the vice-captain.

All eyes will be on Mitchell Starc, the costliest ever buy in the history of IPL at a whopping Rs 24.75 crore. After releasing the likes of Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das, Shardul Thakur, Narayan Jagadeesan, Mandeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, and Johnson Charles, the franchise also bought the likes of Manish Pandey, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Gus Atkinson, KS Bharat and Chetan Sakariya in the IPL 2024 auction.

The franchise players have already kicked off their preparations at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata where they will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their first match on Saturday, March 23.

KKR finished seventh last season and they would be raring to end their ten-year wait for a third trophy this season. Fielding the best eleven would be one task Shreyas Iyer and Gautam Gambhir would take seriously. They suffered a blow after Jason Roy pulled out of the IPL 2024, and have named Phil Salt as replacement.
