Kolkata Knight Riders face off against Lucknow Super Giants in a must-win game for the Shreyas Iyer led team and they did get off to a good start as he won the toss and chose to bowl first. Speaking before the match, Iyer informed that Umesh Yadav won’t feature against LSG.
Revealing the reason why Yadav didn’t feature in the playing XI, Shreyas stated that the Indian pacer had pulled his calf muscle and thus it’s an injury-enforced change for KKR.
The two-time IPL champs will go into their must-win game without the services of one of their most consistent players in IPL 2022 so far.
