"I seriously believe we have got everything"- KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer ahead of IPL 2022

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Shreyas Iyer expressed confidence in his teammates' abilities going into the upcoming IPL season. Ahead of IPL 2022, KKR management parted ways with Eoin Morgan, who led the side to the finals last year.

Due to this, they bid aggressively for Shreyas Iyer at the mega-auction and procured his services for a massive ₹12.25 crores. KKR soon appointed him as the new skipper of the side. At a recent team event, Shreyas Iyer addressed his teammates and said:

"I seriously believe we have got everything in this room. We have got talent, we have got skill. Most importantly, we are one family. We win together, we fight together, and we learn together."

The 27-year-old missed the first half of the IPL last year due to an injury. In the second phase of the season in the UAE, Iyer scored 175 runs in eight games and helped the Delhi Capitals reach the playoffs.
