IPL 2023: Three players who can replace Shakib Al Hasan in Kolkata Knight Riders
Shakib Al Hasan has made himself unavailable for the ongoing IPL season due to personal reasons.
3 Travis Head
The Australian batter has been in sensational form of late, averaging above 50 in both Tests and ODIs since 2022. Head has been a part of three IPL seasons where he’s scored 205 runs in 10 matches at an average of 29.29 and a strike rate of 138.51.
In the 55 innings of his Big Bash League career, Head has scored 1394 runs at an average of 27.88 and a strike rate of 130.40. He further has eight fifties and one hundred to his name.
The southpaw, who has been in the form of his life over the past two years, can prove to be a destructive batter for KKR in the ongoing season as they are relying heavily on all-rounders instead of proper batters in their playing XI.
