KKR revealed the look of the new jersey on its Twitter handle. It posted a video featuring all-rounder Andre Russell along with young Indian stars like Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer with the new jersey.
“Making a statement yet again, in Purple & Gold! #AmiKKR #KKR #IPL2023,” tweeted KKR.
The new jersey has though not strayed away from its usual purple and gold colours but it definitely looks much better.
