“KKR will not miss…”Sehwag’s massive statement ahead of qualifier 1

In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 play-off games, Phil Salt, KKR’s in-form opener, won’t be missed, according to former India batter Virender Sehwag. Sehwag believes that someone else on the KKR team ought to come up to replace Salt in their pivotal May 21 matchup against an excellent SRH team.
 
With his explosiveness at the top of the order with Sunil Narine, Salt has been a vital member of the KKR batting group. Having scored 435 runs in 13 games this season, the 27-year-old is among the finest batters in the league.
 
Because of their aggressive approach from the outset, the opening stand between Salt and Narine has frequently helped KKR win their matches in the current IPL season. In order to attend the national team camp ahead of their four-match T20I series against Pakistan, which is scheduled to start on May 22, Salt was one of the English players who decided to leave their IPL franchises midway.
 
Speaking about Salt, Sehwag said, “It’s not as though the loss of one player will make your team less valuable. All that has to happen is for the other guy to play well. The absence of one of your in-form players will be what matters most. KKR will miss Phil Salt’s performance, his runs scored, and his strikeout percentage while batting.”

“It is also possible for someone to step up and outperform Salt in that particular match. I take it that he just needs to play one match? Therefore, I’d want to see it favorably. I take it that you have purchased the remaining players for such occasions?… order for another player to step up in the event of an injury or mid-way departure.” Sehwag continued.
 
It would be fascinating to watch who really steps in for Salt in the side for the SRH match, as KKR has choices such as Rahmanullah Gurbaz and KS Bharat as their wicketkeeper-batter.
