Nitish Rana named KKR captain for IPL 2023

Agency :
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have appointed Nitish Rana as their captain in the absence of Shreyas Iyer, who is recovering from a back injury.
Rana was one of two candidates for the interim captaincy along with Sunil Narine, who joined the franchise in 2012 and has been with them ever since.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, who finished last out of six teams with one win and eight losses, were recently led by Narine in the inaugural International League T20.
“While we are hopeful that Shreyas will recover and participate at some stage in the IPL 2023 edition, we feel fortunate that Nitish, with the captaincy experience having led his state side in white ball cricket and the IPL experience he has had with KKR since 2018, will do a great job,” confirmed the side in an official statement.
