Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team 2024 stands out as one of the most lucrative and esteemed franchises in the tournament, boasting an estimated value of approximately $1.1 Billion, according to Forbes. The franchise’s popularity can be attributed to its association with Bollywood icons Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, who jointly own KKR IPL team under Red Chillies Entertainment.
The management of KKR has recently confirmed the KKR IPL team 2024 following the auction event, and details regarding the schedule will be disclosed by the BCCI in the coming months.
Building on their consistent performances in previous editions, the team management of KKR opted to retain only 13 players from the previous squad, releasing 12 players in the Kolkata Knight Riders squad for 2024.
The KKR IPL team will participate in the IPL Trade window to finalize their roster just before the commencement of IPL 2024.
Making a return to KKR, Gautam Gambhir assumes the role of a team mentor for the KKR IPL team 2024, and reports from media sources suggest that it was Gambhir’s preference to retain Andre Russell, a request that the management readily fulfilled.
The franchise has officially announced Shreyas Iyer as the captain of the KKR IPL team 2024. This decision is commendable, given Shreyas’s consistent run-scoring performance at the international level. He is currently brimming with confidence, making him an excellent choice for a leader.
Notably, KKR has made an intriguing decision this year by releasing both Shakib and Litton, as reflected in the KKR IPL team 2024 list.
