IPL 2023: 5 KKR players who might be benched throughout upcoming season
These players are likely to be kept away from the playing XI of KKR due to the presence of experienced players, who could do wonders in the tournament.
4. Kulwant Khejroliya
At the mini-auction 2023, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bought Kulwant Khejroliya at his base price of INR 20 lakhs. In the past, the left-arm medium pacer played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the league. In 2018, he made his debut for RCB against his current team KKR.
Playing three games in his first IPL season, he took only two wickets in three matches at an expensive economy of 9.87. In 2019, he got a chance to feature in RCB’s playing XI for a couple of games. However, he again failed to show up bagging just one wicket at a terrible economy of 9.40.
This year, he will be making a comeback in the mega tournament after four years. However, the franchise may not induct him into playing XI after going through his past bowling figures in the league. The 30-year-old may not stand a chance in front of other fast bowlers like Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur to find a spot in the playing XI.
