According to former England captain Eoin Morgan, Jason Roy, who bats first for England, is unlikely to play in Kolkata Knight Riders’ match against SunRisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens. SRH are currently in ninth place in the 2023 Indian Premier League points standings, while KKR is currently in fourth.
Jason Roy, the opening batter for England, is not expected to play in Kolkata Knight Riders. In the match against SunRisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens, according to former England captain Eoin Morgan. As of right now, KKR is in fourth place and SRH is in ninth place in the 2023 Indian Premier League points standings.
Morgan said in a statement to JioCinema that Roy would be thrilled to join the KKR team and noted that he has been in excellent form for England and the Pakistan Super League. In the ODI series against Bangladesh, Roy scored a century for England. The following season, in the PSL, Roy scored another century against Peshawar Zalmi.
“Jason Roy is, in my opinion, thrilled to be a part of the Knight Riders series. Conceding on the bench, out of form for a while, but in recent months he’s been in perfect form for both England and the PSL,” said Morgan.
He continued by saying that although he doesn’t expect Roy to play in their match against SRH. Roy will be available if KKR needs him. Following Shakib Al Hasan’s withdrawal from the competition, KKR signed Roy for Rs 2.80 crore.
If required, he’ll be prepared to leave. He probably won’t play in this match because I don’t see KKR making any significant changes. In the future, perhaps,” Morgan continued.
Morgan also said Andre Russell, saying that he will remain incredibly positive
It was unfortunate that he was dismissed in the manner in which he was in KKR’s most recent game against GT. In the IPL’s 2023 season, Russell has only scored 36 runs.
“I don’t find it to be an issue. Over the past few years, getting a wrist spinner ready to use when Andre Russell enters the crease has become popular. He has typically positively responded to that. Got an inside edge of his thigh pad in the most recent game, which was extremely unlucky.”
But Andre Russell will be very positive, in my opinion, so I think we will see that plan and trend continue” After defeating the reigning champions in a historic victory. KKR will now turn their attention to SRH, with the two teams scheduled to square off at Eden Gardens.
