New Delhi: The preparations for IPL 2022 is already underway as franchises are unveiling their new jerseys one after the other. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who have clinched the IPL title twice till now, introduced their new jersey for the upcoming edition. Newly appointed skipper for KKR this year, Shreyas Iyer can be seen donning the jersey in a tweet by the franchise.
Franchises are not meddling too much with their jerseys colours. KKR have done the same by sticking to the same purple colour in their jersey. The whole kit also displays the name of a new brand as principal sponsor, which marks the franchise’s fourth overall since the inception of the tournament.
Here is the tweet by the official twitter account of the Kolkata Knight Riders.
