After suffering a defeat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 final against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Eoin Morgan lauded opening duo of Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer for putting in remarkable performances throughout the season.

KKR had finished the India leg of IPL 2021 with just two wins from seven games, but shift to UAE brought about a significant change as the side went on to win matches to reach the final. Venkatesh Iyer proved a great find as he changed the dynamics of the side while coming out to open along with Gill.
