England limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan will take the field for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2020). Widely regarded as one of England’s greatest ODI batsmen of all time, Morgan is the most capped ODI cricketer for England. The left-handed batsman is known for his aggressive scoring abilities as he holds a staggering strike-rate of 91.13 in ODIs and 137.49 in T20I matches.
I know he has never been quite the player in the IPL that he has been for England but I will be surprised if @Eoin16 doesn't create an impact with @KKRiders this year
