While KKR emerged as ultimate champions in IPL 2012 and 2014 under the sturdy captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, they failed to flaunt dominance after it. In the 2022 edition of IPL, the team finished in 7th position on the points table with just six victories in 14 games. KKR will kick off their IPL 2023 campaign against Punjab Kings on April 1 at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.

Injury threats continue to loom over KKR

Ahead of the IPL 2023, KKR's woes have already begun even before the start of the tournament. Recently, skipper Shreyas Iyer was ruled out due to a back injury. However, the extent of his injury is unknown, and the franchise will be desperate to name a replacement skipper in Iyer’s absence.

Furthermore, BlackCaps pacer Lockie Ferguson has also been ruled out of the first few matches of the tournament due to injury. The injury threats continue to pile on for the two-time champions, and it could be interesting to see how they fare without some key players.
