IPL 2024: Four KKR youngsters to keep an Eye On

Suyash Sharma

Suyash Sharma was unearthed to the world by KKR last season and the Delhi leg-spinner was one of their two positives amid the disappointing campaign. The crafty spinner ended up with 10 wickets in 11 matches. But Suyash's biggest test will be this year as he aims to replicate the same effect with the ball. The Delhi player, to his credit, has had a fantastic debut season in domestic cricket where he ended with the best economy in the SMAT.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi is one of KKR's new signings as the 18-year-old was roped in for his base price of Rs. 20 lakh in the auction. The Mumbai batter is one for the future but can get opportunities at KKR even as an Impact Player in the upcoming season.

Raghuvanshi is known for aggressive batting in the domestic circuit, but IPL is a different ball game altogether.

Harshit Rana

Harshit Rana has been with KKR since IPL 2022 and the pacer is definitely going to be key for them in the upcoming edition. The Delhi player will be the key Indian pacer this year and his performances with the ball will dictate KKR's fortunes. The 21-year-old has 6 wickets in 8 matches in his IPL career and his aim will be to at least double his tally this year.

Sakib Hussain

Sakib Hussain is another teenager addition to the Knight Riders in IPL 2024. The Bihar-born player is known for his pace bowling and has been excellent for his domestic team in 2023. Hussain's raw pace and accurate bowling make him a contender in KKR's setup and eyes will be on the player if such an occasion arrives.
