Chameera has been added to Shahrukh Khan's team KKR for a price of Rs 50 lakh. The Sri Lankan fast bowler who is known for his pace and can trouble the batsmen with his swing and seam movement was part of Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2018 and 2021 IPL seasons respectively.
Let us tell you, KKR has won the trophy twice and now under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, this team will once again take the field with a claim to win the title. Gautam Gambhir has returned to this camp. That is why it is considered stronger than before.
