The Kolkata Knight Riders is one of the most popular team of IPL
thanks to its Bollywood connection. The team is owned by Shahrukh Khan,
Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta. KKR is currently the 2 times champion of IPL
as they won in 2012 and 2014. There was a time when KKR was considered
as the weakest team of IPL but things changes after three season of the
IPL and they won the 2012 and 2014 edition of IPL. Not only this, KKR holds the amazing record for the longest winning streak (14 matches) by any Indian team in T20s.
The team is currently captained by the leading run-scorer of the side, Gautam Gambir and is coached by Trever Bayliss. Eden Gardens is the home ground of KKR while its secondary home ground is Barabati Stadium, Cuttack. Jacques Kallis is the batting coach of the team while Wasim Akram is the bowling coach of the team.
The key players of the team are Manish Pandey, Gautam Gambir, Robin Uthappa, Yusuf Pathan, Andre Rusell, Shakib Al Hasan and Umesh Yadav. Sunil Narine is their trump card player and is also the leading wicket taker of the side.
Although, the team remained at the bottom of the tables in many seasons of the IPL, but if we consider that last seasons, Kolkata Knight Riders is not at all ready to give its champion tag to any other team. Even For IPL 2016, KKR is pretty much popular and is the first choice among viewers. Cricket is a game of uncertainty where it is possible that the defending champion won’t ever reach to semifinals and it is also possible that they will win it again.
