KKR unveil their jersey ahead of IPL 2023

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have unveiled their new jersey ahead of the upcoming IPL 2023. They have not made any major changes to their outfit from the previous season and have once again stuck to their purple and gold threads, which have been with them since the inception of the IPL.

The Kolkata franchise gave their ardent fans a glimpse of their latest jersey by sharing a video on their official Instagram handle. They captioned it:

"Making a statement yet again, in Purple & Gold! 💜💛 @myfab11official @bkt_tires @money9live @joy_beautifulbynature #AmiKKR #KKR #IPL2023."

The Knight Riders are currently under a cloud of uncertainty regarding the availability of captain Shreyas Iyer for the season. A back issue resurfaced for Iyer during the fourth Test against Australia in Ahmedabad, due to which he did not even bat in that Test. He also missed the subsequent three-match ODI series against Australia for the same reason.

Recent reports have emerged that Iyer might be out of action for a couple of months owing to the seriousness of the injury. An update on his situation will be out in the coming days.
