In the 2023 Indian Premier League match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals, Jason Roy could start in lieu of Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
Kolkata Knight Riders are eager for a win against the winless Delhi Capitals after suffering two consecutive losses in the Indian Premier League (2023). The Knight Riders’ starting has struggled in their most recent games. With England’s explosive batting prospect Jason Roy sitting on the bench, the team’s management may consider promoting him to lead off in the upcoming game against Delhi. Roy, who replaced Shakib Al Hasan, has yet to make an appearance in this season’s league.
As soon as possible, KKR would like to put behind them the home setback to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, and Andre Russell, all of whom bat in the middle of the order, have the potential to whack the bowling of the Delhi Capitals, led by Anrich Nortje and Mustafizur Rahman.
Jason Roy, an Englishman, may replace Rahamanullah Gurbaz as the opening batsman, with N. Jagadeesan assuming the role of the wicketkeeper.
Also, leg-spinner Suyash Sharma will be making his professional debut in front of his hometown crowd.
Nitish and Rinku, two big hitters, will be looking to wow the sold-out crowd alongside Russell and the red-hot Venkatesh Iyer, who just scored a century against MI.
Venkatesh Iyer has been in excellent form for Kolkata, scoring a century in his most recent match, but he was taken out of the game in favor of an “Impact Player,” which he found to be unfair.
According to Venkatesh Iyer, an opener for the Kolkata Knight Riders, the impact player rule has reduced the amount of bowling time available to all-rounders.
Iyer returned to form with a vengeance following ankle surgery, scoring 83 against the Gujarat Titans and 104 against the Mumbai Indians in two of KKR’s five games. In both of those matches, he entered as a substitute and had an immediate impact.
