English dynamic opener Jason Roy opted out from IPL citing personal reasons. His own team-mate Philip Salt will replace him at Kolkata Knight Riders.

Phil Salt was unsold at the auction but now will replace his team-mate Jason Roy. 
Salt's 48-ball century in the fourth T20I in the West Indies is the joint-fastest in the format for England, and Salt now has a stellar T20 record, with 5308 runs from 221 innings at a strike rate of 153.41 and an average of 25.89. And he has played around the world, too, including in the BBL, the Caribbean Premier League, the Pakistan Super League, and in leagues in Sri Lanka, the UAE and South Africa.

Shreyas Iyer is the designated captain of the side and lead Kolkata Knight Riders from the front. KKR will start their campaign from the second day of IPL 2024 season on, 23rd March against star studded Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens.
