In such a situation, now the question arises that who will join the team in place of Shakib. Let us tell you the options of 3 players, who can be included in the KKR team instead of Shakib.

Dasun Shanaka

Dasun Shanaka of Sri Lanka can prove to be the best option for Kolkata Knight Riders. Sri Lankan captain Dasun has done exceptionally well in T20 cricket during the last few months. He has changed the course of the match many times by fast batting and sharp bowling in the middle order. Sri Lanka also won the Asia Cup last year under his captaincy. He can bowl medium fast as well as bat fast. In such a situation, instead of Shakib, KKR can include Dasun in the team, through whom he can also get a good captaincy option.

Mohammad Nabi

He can also do spin bowling and batting like Shakib. Mohammad Nabi also has captaincy experience. In such a situation, Kolkata Knight Riders can also make this player a replacement for Shakib.

adam mill

In the first match, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee and Shardul Thakur handled the fast bowling for KKR, but none of them is an express fast bowler, however, KKR has an option in the form of Lockie Ferguson, but he Currently recovering from injury. In such a situation, Adam Mill can prove to be a good option for him in place of Shakib.
