Quite a few different KKR gamers have checked in at the lodge and are at present serving their quarantine, as per the BCCI’s guideline. Varun Chakaravarthy, Rahul Tripathi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Sandeep Warrier and newcomer Vaibhav Arora have began observe below the watchful eyes of assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and Omkar Salvi.
KKR start their season in opposition to Sunriser Hyderabad on April 11 in Chennai. None of the groups will get to play at their house grounds this 12 months, which implies KKR’s date with Eden Gardens should wait.
“Coming and playing at Eden Gardens is something that we take pride in and we enjoy. To be honest, not playing at Eden Gardens despite playing India is going to be the only con, if I could say so,” assistant coach Nayar stated.
KKR are very excited by their pacer Prasidh Krishna’s very good debut in opposition to England. In the primary ODI in opposition to England, Prasidh completed with 4/54 to interrupt the report for finest figures by an Indian seamer on debut.
“I feel it was quite important for him to go on a big stage as this will give him a lot of confidence,” Nayar added.
