Kolkata Knight Riders have named Shreyas Iyer as their captain once again as the batter gets set to return to the IPL after missing out last year due to injury. The stand-in skipper then, Nitish Rana, has been named Iyer's deputy for IPL 2024.

"I believe the last season presented us with several challenges, including my absence due to injury. Nitish did a great job not only filling in for me but also with his commendable leadership. I am delighted that KKR has named him Vice Captain. No doubt it will strengthen the leadership group," Iyer was quoted as saying in a statement put out by the team.

Kolkata had a below-par season last time finishing seventh overall and getting eliminated in the group stages under Rana.

"It was indeed unfortunate that Shreyas missed IPL 2023 due to injury. We are delighted that he's back and at the helm as Captain. The way he has worked hard to recover from his injury and the form he has displayed is a testament to his character," Venky Mysore, the CEO, was quoted as saying.
