IPL 2023: 3 players who can replace Shreyas Iyer in KKR squad

2. Baba Indrajith

The Tamil Nadu batter has been in stupendous form in first class cricket over the past seven years. He had another decent season in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23 where he scored 402 runs at an average of 40.20 with one hundred and two fifties to his name.

The 28-year-old was a part of the KKR squad in 2022 but was released by the team heading into the ongoing season. Indrajith is considered one of the best players of spin bowling hailing from his state and hence can be an ideal replacement for Iyer who also loves batting against spin.

Being in the KKR camp earlier, he would be on the radar of the management and can be recalled into the squad. He has played just three IPL games so far and scored 21 runs. If Indrajith gets a chance in place of Shreyas Iyer, it would be the perfect opportunity for him to perform and get noticed by the selectors as he’s been waiting for an India call-up despite performing exceptionally in the domestic circuit for a number of years.
