IPL 2017: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) players, squad, captain, coach, home ground in IPL 10

With less than a week to go for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017  the build-up to the cash rich tournament is underway, as all the eight teams get set for a month-and-a-half long action to stand a chance to lay their hands on the coveted trophy. Same is the case for the former two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), as they get set to prepare for their 10th season in the league, being one of the oldest sides in the tournament, and stand a chance to become the record three-time champions, thereby also becoming the most successful team in the league. Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2017, Preview

Considering the team, KKR have an action packed team. Although KKR lack star power, this year they will be able to get some of the star power, owing to some smart shopping by the side in the IPL Auction 2017. The team would once again be led by their regular skipper Gautam Gambhir, as they have exquisite batsmen like Manish Pandey, Robin Uthappa, Chris Lynn, Darren Bravo, Rovman Powell, along with Yusuf Pathan, Shakib Al Hasan, Chris Woakes, while they also have Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Piyush Chawla, Sunil Narine, Trent Boult, Nathan Coulter-Nile and many more who could well challenge the others sides for the title.
