Two-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Wednesday signed England’s Jason Roy for Rs 2.8 crore for the remainder of 2023 season.
Notably, Roy had set his base price at Rs 1.5 crore.
The development came after KKR lost their key players due to various reasons. While regular skipper Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the ongoing season with a back surgery due in London, Bangladesh star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has opted out for national commitments.
