Kolkata,16/2: Kolkata Knight Riders has appointed Shreyas Iyer as their new captain. Knight Riders made this announcement on Wednesday. As soon as KKR made a bid of 12.25 crores on Shreyas Iyer in the IPL auction, it was decided that this rising star of Team India is going to get a big responsibility. Shreyas Iyer has now not only become the most expensive cricketer of KKR, but he has also got the honor of leading.
The team of Kolkata Knight Riders has become the champion of IPL twice. He won the IPL title for the first time in 2012 and for the second time in 2014. Both times Gautam Gambhir was the captain of the team. Apart from Gautam Gambhir, no other captain has been able to give the title to KKR.
Shreyas Iyer is the sixth player, who is going to get a chance to captain Kolkata Knight Riders. However, it can also prove to be a crown of thorns for them as there are many such difficulties in the team of Kolkata Knight Riders, whose solution will not be easy to find.
