Shreyas Iyer as a DC captain in 2020, Andre Russell unavailable throughout the Playoffs in 2021, Venkatesh Iyer who almost brought a revolutionary title for KKR in 2021. This team has shown the entire world their purpose. Not to only win but lay hands over the Trophy and honestly, this is probably the most invincible playing XI in the history of any IPL season.”
