IPL 2023: KKR vs GT LIVE – In another blow for Kolkata Knight Riders, Bangladesh star batter Litton Das has left the KKR camp. He has flown back home to Bangladesh due to a family emergency. He is all set to miss the next few games with a return date uncertain. He will not be available for the home match on Saturday against Gujarat Titans either. With Bangladesh set to face Ireland in ODI series, Litton will miss the remaining part after spending just 19 days with the team. Das played just one game and has been warming the bench with Jason Roy getting the nod. Follow IPL 2023 Live Updates with InsideSport.IN.

The 28-year-old, who was bought by KKR at his base price of Rs 50 lakh at last year’s auction, was dropped after playing just one match against Delhi Capitals.
Opening the batting with Jason Roy, Das (4) fell cheaply and also capped a forgettable outing as wicket-keeper as he missed two stumping chances which proved decisive in the end. DC went on to win the match by four wickets to end their five-match losing streak.
