Notably, Kolkata Knight Riders has been one of the most consistent teams in the ongoing season to stick to their Playing XI with making less changes in every game. Since Rahmanullah Gurbaz has not played any match in IPL 2024 yet, it would be difficult for him to find a place in the team’s consistent Playing XI.
