Rinku Singh’s storm came before IPL 2024, Phil Salt played a strong innings.
IPL 2024 KKR : Preparations for all the teams have started before the IPL. Players are practicing in the teams’ camps. Meanwhile, some teams have made two teams of their own players, so that preparation can be done among themselves. Preparations for two-time IPL champion team KKR are currently going on at a fast pace. In this match, Rinku Singh, one of the explosive batsmen of Kolkata Knight Riders, played an excellent innings. Phil Salt and Nitish Rana also showed strong hands.
Phil Salt played an inning of 78 runs, Nitish Rana also scored 50 runs.
KKR has to play its first match this year on 23rd March i.e. the very next day of the debut against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Therefore the team’s camp is also going on in Kolkata. The team had included Jason Roy in its team before this year’s IPL, but at the last moment he refused to play. After this, Phil Salt was hurriedly included in his team. Meanwhile, when the practice match was played, he played a brilliant inning of 78 runs on 41 balls. If we talk about vice-captain Nitish Rana, he also scored 50 runs on 30 balls. Last year, Nitish Rana took command of the team in the absence of Shreyas Iyer. But now Shreyas Iyer has returned as captain, hence Rana will be the vice-captain.
Rinku Singh scored 37 runs on 16 balls
After this, if we talk about Rinku Singh, a lot of runs are coming from his bat. In the practice match, he scored a quick 37 runs in just 16 balls. That means his strike rate was more than 200. On the other hand, while bowling, Varun Chakraborty took two wickets for 40 runs. Rinku Singh had performed amazingly in last year’s IPL. After this he got a chance to debut for Team India. There also he continued his aggressive style. Now again he is playing for KKR. He is preparing to play match winning innings again for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Gautam Gambhir is the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders
Some changes have been made in the Kolkata Knight Riders team from last year to this year. Gautam Gambhir has been made mentor. Before this, he was associated with LSG for two years. Under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, KKR has won the IPL title twice. This time Gambhir is in the second role, but it will be his responsibility to once again play an important role in helping his team win the title. It remains to be seen how the team performs this time.
