RCB vs KKR: Why is Suyash Sharma Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

The Kolkata Knight Riders have made a surprising decision to drop Suyash Sharma from their starting 11, despite his impressive performance in his IPL debut earlier this season. Sharma had claimed three wickets and played a key role in breaking the back of RCB’s chase. However, he is among the substitute players for the current game as KKR are batting first. It is likely that he will be included in the team for the second innings once KKR fields. Here’s what Nitish Rana said at the toss,

““We would have batted first, DLS could come into the equation, but we would still have batted first. There are always areas where we can improve, we have had some forced changes – Jason Roy has a back issue, he’s replaced by Gurbaz. Harshit Rana replaces Umesh Yadav.”

Suyash Sharma IPL 2023 Price

Suyash Sharma, a young leg-spinner, was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders for his base price of INR 20 Lakh during the IPL 2023 auction. It’s interesting to note that he was acquired even though he hadn’t played for any state team in a domestic match. So far Suyash has picked up 9 wickets at an economy of 8.12 runs per over. Suyash has got the second most wickets for KKR this season after Varun Chakravarthy.
