The 10th match of IPL 2024 is being played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. In this match, KKR captain Shreyas Iyer has decided to bowl first after winning the toss. During this, when Shreyas Iyer was asked about the playing 11 after winning the toss, he forgot the team combination and looked quite confused. Iyer had come to the field with two papers with him. In which two playing 11 were written, but Iyer forgot with which playing 11 he had to go in this match.
Change in KKR’s playing 11
Kolkata Knight Riders team has made a major change in its playing 11 for the match being played against RCB. Team vice-captain Nitish Rana is not playing this match due to injury. In his place, captain Shreyas Iyer has given Anukul Roy a chance to play. Angkrish Raghuvanshi can make his IPL debut as an impact player. This was the reason why Iyer looked quite confused about the team’s playing 11. Iyer also said during the toss that he has got two playing 11s each. For this reason he is very confused. In fact, captains of teams often go on the field with two playing 11s. One playing 11 if the batsman comes first and the other playing 11 if the bowling comes first.
