Notably, KKR will begin their IPL 2024 campaign with a face-off against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the third game of the season. It will be a home fixture for KKR and they are expected to get a huge amount of crowd support at the Eden Gardens.
The two-time IPL winners have been bolstered by the return of their skipper Shreyas Iyer who missed the previous season due to a back injury. Iyer's return is set to provide solidity to KKR's batting order.
On the other hand, the franchise has also roped in the Aussie speedster Mitchell Starc to get rid of their woes in the powerplay and at the death. Starc's inclusion is set to add a new dimension to KKR's bowling core that relied predominantly on its spinners in the form of Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy and Suyash Sharma.
The homecoming of Gautam Gambhir is also set to help KKR qualify for the playoffs this season.
