Phil Salt
The Qualifier-1 match of IPL 2024 will be played between KKR and Sunrisers Hyderabad. KKR team has made it to the playoffs by being on top in the points table. Phil Salt has performed strongly for KKR in the current season. He has won many matches for Kolkata Knight Riders team on his own. But he has returned to England even before the IPL playoffs. In such a situation, the biggest question before the management of KKR will be who will handle the responsibility of opening in place of Salt.
Phil Salt played many brilliant innings
Phil Salt has scored a total of 435 runs in 12 matches of IPL 2024. During this period, a total of 4 half-centuries have come from his bat. Now he has returned to England, because before the T20 World Cup, the England team will play a series against Pakistan. He is included in the England squad. It will not be easy for any player to compensate for the salt. Salt has contributed a lot to the success of KKR in the current season.
This player may get the responsibility of opening
There is a player in the KKR team who can handle the responsibility of opening in place of Phil Salt. We are talking about Afghanistan’s young batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz. He has not played a single match for KKR this season, but last season he was successful in impressing with his performance. Then he had scored a total of 227 runs. He can become the new opening partner of Sunil Narine. He has the ability to play big innings.
KKR performed strongly in IPL 2024
This is the first time in the history of IPL that KKR team has finished first in the points table. The team had not been able to do this before. In the current season, the team has performed strongly under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. The team qualified for the playoffs by winning 9 out of 14 matches. KKR has won the IPL title twice under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir.
