Skipper Hardik is also in the list of most runs getter in this year\u2019s IPL. As Venkatesh Iyer hasn\u2019t bowled much overs in the IPL and isn\u2019t in a good touch with the bat so it is unlikely that he will make into the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Next season make  Ravi Shastri as KKR coach.  Bharat Arun is already there in KKR.    It's better to have a Indian coach.  Because not every player in kkr can speak English especially the newcomers.  They will learn a lot from Shastri & be more comfortable with an Indian coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mahesh Khemani (@MKhemani1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MKhemani1\/status\/1520459595767984128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 30, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hope they release iyer after this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Avinab (@avinab16) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/avinab16\/status\/1520460319176286208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 30, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/venkateshiyer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@venkateshiyer<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1IF7oyZhpC\">pic.twitter.com\/1IF7oyZhpC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 shubham joshi (@shubham83494463) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shubham83494463\/status\/1520843433979498496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 1, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Unfortunately <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/venkateshiyer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@venkateshiyer<\/a> has been just a walking wicket this time around.\ud83d\ude1e<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KKRiders?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KKRiders<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPL2022?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IPL2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Aman Khatri (@AmanKhatri100) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmanKhatri100\/status\/1521124914610143233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 2, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Venkatesh Iyer was been dropped from the starting XI of KKR on Monday, 2nd May at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai against Rajasthan Royals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":40433,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[143,611,629,1478],"class_list":["post-19777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-hardik-pandya","tag-kolkata-knight-riders","tag-sanju-samson","tag-venkatesh-iyer"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
