The KKR will look to better their seventh-place finish in IPL 2022 especially after they had made the finals in IPL 2021.

However, they will most likely be without their skipper Shreyas Iyer for atleast the first half of the tournament, as the talented batter battles with a lower back injury and is contemplating whether to undergo the knife or not keeping in mind the upcoming World Cup 2023.
