IPL 2024: Opening combination of each team
Prior to the marquee T20 competition, let us have a glance at the opening pairs of all sides.
4. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)- Jason Roy and Venkatesh Iyer
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) supporters will want their team to give cheerful moments to them with their performance in the 2024 IPL. In the last two seasons, they looked horrendous and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Knight Riders have roped in their former skipper Gautam Gambhir as a mentor and with his arrival, their fans are expecting their side to clinch the distinguished trophy after 10 years.
KKR will focus on getting quality starts in matches. In the auction held in Dubai, they got Mitchell Starc at a record sum of INR 24.75 crore. The Aussie speedster will be handed the responsibility to deliver early breakthroughs to the team with the ball, while with the bat they might assign Jason Roy and Venkatesh Iyer the task of providing effective starts to the team.
Roy can collect runs at a swift pace while Venkatesh is known for his poised batting attitude. In the upcoming competition, both batters will look to solidify the team with their batting skills.
