After parting ways with Gambhir Gambhir, who led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for seven years in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the franchise has named Dinesh🏅 Karthik as their new captain.
On♔ Sunday, in a live television show, the Shah Ru𝓰kh Khan-owned franchise unveiled the vastly experienced Karthik as its leader for the upcoming season.
Venky Mysore, the CEO of KKR franchise, made the announcement; Simon Katich, the club’s assistant coach, who was part of the show via video conference, revealed the management’s considerations while choosing its new skipper.
Among other reasons𓂃, Karthik stood o🍸ut, over Robin Uthappa and Chris Lynn, due to his 72 percent win record in T20s.
Under a new leade🍨r, Knight Riders will begin their campaign at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 8 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
