"That's their biggest strength"- Aakash Chopra on KKR's Indian batting core ahead of IPL 2024

Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra recently analyzed the KKR squad ahead of the upcoming IPL 2024 season. He opined that their Indian batting core, comprising the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, and Nitish Rana, is their biggest strength.

Chopra explained his views on the matter in a video on his YouTube channel, saying:

"The first strength you see is the Indian batting contingent. They have Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh. Just think about it, four good Indian players who have all played for India. Rinku Singh is in red-hot form. Shreyas Iyer is on a comeback trail."

He continued:

"Venkatesh Iyer was also playing decently, he played well last year too, and Nitish Rana is a very good player. So that makes it four Indian batters. That's their biggest strength because if you prepare even slightly turning pitches, you need a batting lineup that plays spin well. If it's a turning pitch, they might play Rahmanullah Gurbaz. If it's a flat pitch, they might play Phil Salt."
