practice match was contested between KKR Team Gold and KKR Team Purple, with Shreyas representing the latter.<br \/>Shreyas will be eager to improve his performance in the upcoming matches as a strong showing in this IPL edition is crucial for him to stay in contention for selection, especially after being excluded from the <!-- -->BCCI<!-- -->&#8216;s central contract along with <!-- -->Ishan
