Gurkeerat Singh featured for RCB in IPL 2020, scoring 71 runs in five innings without being dismissed once. He's solid with the bat and can contribute some overs of off-spin with the ball.

Meanwhile, KKR captain Eoin Morgan was an injury scare before the start of the IPL season. He has, however, said that he would be fully fit for KKR's season opener against SRH on April 11th at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
