Shreyas Iyer faced issues in his back during the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy vs Australia in February this month and was later sent for scans. Shreyas's injury was worse than thought and he will be at least out of action for six months. His presence in the World Test Championship final and the 2023 ODI World Cup is also doubtful. 

Coming back to the KKR's current scenario in the Indian Premier League 2023 so the team lost their first match against Punjab Kings by seven runs (DLS) in Mohali and started their campaign with a loss. Playing their second match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Kolkata the team was once again on the verge of losing the match as batting first their batting lineup collapsed badly. It was Shardul Thakur and Rinku Singh who saved them and took their team to a total of over 200. Later the Kolkata-based franchise was able to win the match by 81 runs. 

Now, after the historic three-wicket win against the Gujarat Titans, KKR is well in control and they would want to continue the momentum further and win their third title of the Indian Premier League.
