IPL 2023: Jason Roy joins Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have announced the signing of England’s batsman Jason Roy for IPL 2023. 

The 32-year-old had previously played for the team in the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

The Knight Riders have acquired him for INR 2.8 crore, which is above his base price of INR 1.5 crore.

KKR have lost two of their star players. Shreyas Iyer, who was meant to lead the team, has been sidelined from the tournament due to a lower back injury. Meanwhile, Shakib Al Hasan has pulled out due to personal reasons. 

But in the midst of all this turmoil, KKR have made an exciting acquisition by bringing in Jason Roy.

The right-handed batter is expected to make valuable contributions to his team in the upcoming fixtures.
