As KKR prepares for their season opener, Sisodia maintains a level-headed approach, "At the end of the day, it's just a game of cricket and every game that we play is important, regardless of who the opponent is."

When asked about what fans can expect from him, Sisodia promised excitement without making grand commitments, "They will have a great time when I try and express myself on the field."

The wicketkeeper-batter is particularly impressed by the passionate KKR fanbase, describing them as 'electric' and 'very loyal and very supporting.' Looking ahead to donning the purple and gold jersey, Sisodia believes the team colors suit him well, reflecting his excitement to represent one of the IPL's most successful franchises.

With the opportunity to learn from seasoned campaigners and the backing of the passionate Kolkata crowd, Sisodia appears ready to make his mark in IPL 2025.
