India's stormy player was ruled out in 4th Test...
Even before the start of IPL 2023, kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is facing a big setback. Disturbing news has come to the fore regarding Shreyas Iyer. Due to a back injury, he did not come out to bat in the fourth Test. Now media reports are claiming that due to injury, he may have to stay away from IPL this year as well. KKR will have to choose its new captain in such a situation.
Shreyas Iyer's back injury serious
Injuries occurred to shreyas iyer during the Border-Gavaskar Test series. He suffered a back injury and due to this he could not even come out to bat in the last Test. Back injury is serious for any player and it is difficult to make a comeback after that. If media reports are to be believed, the management is not ready to take any kind of risk in view of the world cup to be held later this year. There is also a doubt regarding Iyer's playing in IPL 2023.
Tim Southee can be given the captaincy of KKR
If shreyas iyer stays away from IPL this year due to injury, then the biggest question is who will be the captain in his place. Although there are many well-known players in KKR, but tim southee is the most suitable option for captaincy. Southee is currently the captain of the new zealand Test team and the team is doing well under his captaincy. Apart from this, he has a long experience of playing international cricket and he is capable of handling pressure situations.
