Nitish Rana KKR Team Captain: Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season is going to start on 31 March
Nitish Rana KKR Team Captain: Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season is going to start on 31 March. But just before this, two-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has declared Nitish Rana as the new captain in the absence of injured Shreyas Iyer.
“I don’t think I played such a huge role, everyone’s been assigned a certain responsibility, I just had to fulfil that, so did the others,” a modest Rana said.
Although Delhi lost three wickets inside as many overs, Glenn Maxwell (47) and Rishabh Pant (43) kept the Dardevils in the hunt with a fifty plus partnership before Kuldeep Yadav (3/32) triggered the collapse and Sunil Narine (3/18) wrapping the proceedings.
“Everyone has made a contribution in today’s game. Take for example, Kuldeep’s two wickets — Rishabh Pant and Glenn Maxwell. Those wickets were very important at that point of time,” he said.
“The way they got 200 was a bit too much on this wicket. I think 170-180 was a par score. That Russell blitz in the middle took the game away,” Sriram said.
Until Shreyas does not come, only Nitish will be seen handling the command. But the thing to see is that there are many players in the KKR team who could have been a better captain than Nitish Rana. But KKR team management has bet on Nitish. Now it has to be seen whether this bet does not backfire on the team itself.
