N Jagadeesan, the right-handed batter creating waves in the domestic circuit, has been acquired by KKR for IPL 2023 for INR 90 Lakhs. CSK and KKR were vying for his services, but CSK backed out due to financial constraints. Jagadeesan played for CSK in the 2022 edition, scoring 40 runs in two matches. His form has been exceptional, and CSK fans will be disappointed to see him go. KKR, on the other hand, will be pleased to have him as their top-order batter. It will be his fourth season in the IPL, debuting for CSK in 2020. Jagadeesan is known for not allowing the bowler to settle down and has a wide range of shots. After a disappointing 2022 season, where they finished seventh with 12 points, KKR hopes to win the critical moments of the match with Jagadeesan’s assistance.

Sunil Narine has been a pillar of KKR’s bowling assault for many seasons, but lately, his hitting prowess has been more prominent than his bowling. When he was cited for a questionable action requiring him to alter his action, he experienced a slump in his bowling. But after being elevated to KKR’s opener, Narine made up for it with his hitting skills.
He gave his team a flying start in the early stages and started to pose a danger to the opposition. The team kept him before the 2022 IPL Auction and hoped to help this season because the team management has repeatedly expressed confidence in his all-around skills.
