'KS Bharat to open?" - KKR's social media post sparks debate about IPL 2024 opening combination
The upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) is just around the corner and fans are waiting with baited breaths to watch the action go down. Two-time IPL winners Kolkata Knight Riders will look to turn around their fortunes from the last few seasons and aim to win the coveted title for a third time.
However, recently, a social media post made by the franchise is gaining quick traction and has also sparked a debate on the internet. The post shows KS Bharat and Jason Roy with the caption, "When aggression meets composure - we canβt π€πππ© calm about this partnership in purple & gold!"
KKR's social media post sparks debate
On the other hand, KS Bharat has not been enjoying the best of form. He was recently dropped in the ongoing IND vs ENG Test series following an unimpressive performance.
The right-handed batter was part of the Gujarat Titans last year but didn't play even one match despite being an INR 1.2 crore signing. He has 199 runs from 10 IPL matches at an average of 28.43 and a strike rate of 122.09. In 2021, he scored a magnificent 78* (52) for RCB which included a last-ball match-winning six.

However, playing Bharat at the top will open up KKR's combinations with the availability of one more foreigner in the ranks. It remains to be seen how the KKR management decides to go ahead when the season begins.
