Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have named Dushmantha Chameera as a replacement for England pacer Gus Atkinson for the upcoming edition of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

Chameera will join KKR at a reserve price of INR 50 Lakh. The Sri-Lankan speedster is known for his searing pace and wicket-taking abilities.

The speedster will add a lot of depth to a versatile pace-bowling unit of the Knight Riders and will be an exciting addition to the squad.
