[WATCH] Rahmanullah Gurbaz joins KKR camp ahead of IPL 2023

Afghanistan opening batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz joined the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) camp on Wednesday (March 29) to begin preparations for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.

The 21-year-old was a part of the Gujarat Titans last year, who won the trophy in their debut season. However, he did not feature in any of the games and is yet to make his debut in the lucrative league.

The Knight Riders traded Gurbaz in from Gujarat Titans ahead of the latest season as they lacked top-order options as well as wicket-keepers.

KKR recently took to their official Twitter handle to give their fans an update on Rahmanullah Gurbaz's arrival at the team camp by sharing a video. They captioned the post:

Elaan-e-Gurbaz! 🤩 @rahmanullah.gurbaz #AmiKKR #KKR #TATAIPL2023

Across 41 T20I matches so far, Gurbaz has scored 1,019 runs at a strike rate of 134.26, including five half-centuries. He will most likely open the innings for Kolkata with Venkatesh Iyer this season.
