KKR's Shreyas Iyer Reveals Secret Behind Swaggering Walk
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), led by Shreyas Iyer, have emerged as a formidable force in IPL 2024, securing five victories in seven matches. Despite Iyer's modest batting performance, the team's consistent success has boosted morale.
In a recent interview with Cyrus Broacha, Iyer attributed his confident stride to childhood teasing. "They used to tease me," he said, referring to his teammate Nitish Rana. "This is natural. I've walked like this since I was young."
Iyer humorously suggested that his "bouncy toes" might contribute to his distinctive gait. The trio, including Iyer, erupted in laughter at his explanation.
KKR's success has been a collective effort, with contributions from various players. Andre Russell has been a key performer, scoring 180 runs and taking 10 wickets. Nitish Rana has also been impressive, amassing 200 runs.
The team's bowling attack has been equally effective, with Umesh Yadav leading the charge with 12 wickets. Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine have also been instrumental in restricting opposition batters.
KKR's strong start has positioned them as one of the favorites to reach the playoffs. With a balanced squad and a winning mentality, they aim to continue their impressive run and challenge for the IPL title.
