New Delhi. In IPL 2023, on Friday, KKR will compete with Sunrisers Hyderabad at their home ground i.e. Eden Gardens. Both these teams had lost their first match of the 16th season of IPL. But, after this both the teams seem to be back on track. KKR defeated Gujarat Titans in the last match chasing a target of more than 200 runs. In that match, Rinku Singh hit 5 sixes in the last 5 balls to make the seemingly impossible victory possible. After this victory, the spirits of Kolkata Knight Riders will be high. 200+ scores in two matches, one was defended by KKR and the other was chased down to win.

Jason Went Unsold in the Auction

Jason Roy went unsold in the mini auction of IPL 2023. He has been associated with KKR as a replacement player due to the exclusion of Shakib Al Hasan and Shreyas Iyer. He has been bought by KKR for Rs 2.8 crore. Roy was last seen playing in IPL 2021. He was joined by Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022 auction. But, he did not play due to bio-bubble. In 2021, he scored 150 runs in 5 matches against Hyderabad.

Roy hit a Record-Breaking Century in PSL

At the same time, before the IPL, this English batsman had played for Quetta Gladiators in Pakistan Super League and he had scored 145 runs in 63 balls against Babar Azam’s team Peshawar Zalmi in a match. During his innings, Jason Roy hit 20 fours and 5 sixes. That is, 110 runs were scored in 25 balls with fours and sixes. In such a situation, KKR’s batting will be strengthened with the arrival of Roy.

Liton also Batted Well Against Ireland

Liton Das has also joined KKR. He is a devotee of Goddess and his wife also worships Lord Krishna. He was bought by KKR for Rs 50 lakh. Liton will be seen playing in IPL for the first time. He can also bat fast in the top order. Liton is in excellent form. He did amazing batting in both ODI and T20 series against Ireland and hit 3 half-centuries. In such a situation, the joining of Das and Roy with KKR has rung alarm bells for the rest of the teams.
