Shreyas Iyer, captain of KKR, might not play in all of IPL 2023, according to a report

 In less than a month, the sixteenth season of the lucrative Indian Premier League will get underway on March 31. Several players will skip the league because of their individual injuries. Star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant and Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah are two prominent players on that roster.

David Warner has been named as the new skipper of the Delhi Capitals after Rishabh suffered an unfortunate accident in December of last year.

Bumrah, who has been sidelined for several months with a back injury, is not expected to play in this match because he is still recuperating from it.

The most recent addition to the roster could be Shreyas Iyer, the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The star batter was removed from the white-ball series, which began in Mumbai on Friday, after he was forced to withdraw from the final India vs. Australia Test in Ahmedabad due to back discomfort and was immediately sent for scanning.

According to reports on Cricbuzz, his recovery is also being closely watched, and a precise update won't be available for another 10 days.

The report also stated that the preliminary scan results were not very promising and that KKR, like Delhi Capitals, may be required to search for alternative captaincy options.

Iyer may not even participate in KKR's season opener on April 1 against Punjab Kings. After completing their national responsibilities, Bangladeshi celebrities Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das will also be running behind schedule.
