The likes of Rinku Singh, Nitish Rana, Venkatesh Iyer and more will keen on making an impact for their team. We have had some magical moments from Rinku last season when he smashed Gujarat Titans (GT) bowler Yash Dayal for five sixes in a row to win the game for his team and we can expect many more moments like that from the star who is currently getting chances in Indian colours as well.

This will be the second season for Chandrakant Pandit as the head coach of KKR and he did pretty well in his debut season in which he faced lots of injury trouble within the squad.

A back injury in April 2023 ruled him out of the season but now he is fully fit and ready for action.
