Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) decided to put aside his Wicketkeeper-Batter of Kock Quinton Proteas for his clash against the Gujarat Titans (GT) tonight (April 21) in the ongoing premier league (IPL 2025).

The news was confirmed by the KKR pattern, Ajinkya Rahane, during the launch of the currency. In the place of Quinton, Kkr has brought the archer of Afghanistan Rahmanulah Gurbaz.

Why is Kockr quinton in KKR playing XI?

The former star of South Africa, who was agreed by the defense champions of INR 3.6 million rupees, has not had a great impact on the upper part of the batting order, except for a 97*. He has played 7 games so far, and apart from 97, he added only 46 other races in six games to an average of 23 and a SR of 137.

Gurbaz, on the other hand, made his IPL debut with KKR in 2023 and once again was collected in the IPL 2025 auction for INR 2 million rupees. He has played some shocking blows before and Kkr will wait for Gurbaz to take them out of the first order routine.
