In the opening match of IPL, there will be a clash between Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Gujarat Titans. Even before the start of IPL, a team made a big change in its captain. Now the team will be seen playing under the captaincy of the changed captain. The big thing is whether this team will be able to win the IPL trophy with the new captain.
Kolkata Knight Riders handed over the team’s command to star batsman Nitish Rana after Shreyas Iyer was injured. Nitish Rana has been a part of Kolkata Knight Riders for many seasons. Nitish Rana has scored around 2181 runs in 91 matches in IPL. During this, 15 half-centuries have been seen from his bat.
There was a wave of happiness among the fans when Nitish Rana was made the captain of KKR for IPL 2023. Fans started congratulating Nitish fiercely using their most powerful weapon, i.e. social media platform. There was a flood of memes on Twitter.
The big question is whether the Kolkata team will be able to win the IPL trophy for the third time under the captaincy of its new captain. In IPL history, the Kolkata team has won the trophy 2 times so far. Both times the team won the trophy under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir, the team’s captain in 2012 and 2014, made the team the IPL winner. However, since then, many captains of the team have changed but could not get the trophy to Kolkata.
One of the user wrote, “A left-handed batter from Delhi is set to lead KKR again…glorious days are awaiting us. Best of luck Ranaji”
Others wrote, “Lefty Batsman From Delhi, Captaining KKR, WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE”
One of the users wrote, “Everyone laughed when Harbhajan Singh predicted Nitish Rana could be the captain of #KKR in future. Today he is proven right!”
