KKR vs CSK: Why is Litton Das Not Playing Today IPL Match? Who is KKR Wicket Keeper?

In a massive breaking news update, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have dropped their overseas wicket-keeper batsman Litton Das in their seventh game of Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) being played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Kolkata Knight Riders will definitely be feeling very much low on confidence after having conceded three successive losses against Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals in the ongoing T20 competition.

KKR vs CSK: Why is Litton Das Not Playing Today IPL Match? Who is KKR Wicket Keeper?

During the toss, it was revealed that the Kolkata Knight Riders have dropped Bangladesh’s wicket-keeper batsman Litton Das from the KKR playing 11 in this KKR vs CSK IPL 2023 match on Sunday. Interestingly, the Bangladesh cricketer is completely fit and part of the five substitute members out of which one can come in as an Impact Player at any point in the game. However, the Kolkata Knight Riders cannot bring Litton as the Impact Player as they are already playing four overseas players, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Jason Roy and David Wiese in the starting XI. While making his IPL debut in the last game against Delhi Capitals, Das scored just 4 runs and was also sloppy behind the wickets. The Kolkata Knight Riders have brought domestic wicket-keeper batsman N Jagadeesan back in the side for this game against CSK.

“Would like to bowl. Looks a good pitch. Will be better to chase if dew comes. If we can click in all three departments, result will be in our favour. Two changes – Wiese in for Litton. Jagadeesan in for Mandeep,” said Kolkata Knight Riders captain Litton Das during the toss.

Litton Das IPL 2023 Price

Kolkata Knight Riders got the services of the powerful batsman from Bangladesh, Litton Das, for his base price of INR 50 Lakh in the IPL 2023 auction. Litton is a formidable force in shorter formats with an impressive T20I record of 1617 runs in 71 matches, striking at over 132 with 10 half-centuries. His addition brings more firepower to the KKR batting lineup, and the team will hope he can replicate his past success in the IPL.
