Shreyas Iyer has been on a good run with the bat of late and the right-handed batter will look to continue his form when he steps onto the field to lead the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Ahead of the tournament, Shreyas opened up on how he would like to lead the franchise and how he would be in good space by having senior players like Aaron Finch, Pat Cummins, and Ajinkya Rahane in the squad. KKR will open their IPL 2022 campaign against Chennai Super Kings on March 26.
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer on Saturday said he's flexible and ready to "explore", depending upon the team scenario in the upcoming IPL.
