Gavaskar supports the inclusion of Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz to the KKR playing XI as one of the four overseas players, citing his aggressive batting style. Mitchell Starc, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine are expected to consistently occupy three of the overseas player slots in the KKR lineup for the upcoming season. The fourth position is likely to be contested between Gurbaz and Jason Roy. The IPL 2024 season is expected to kick off by the end of March.
