Kolkata Knight Riders

Captain: Gautam Gambhir

Coach: Jacques Kallis

Kolkata Knight Riders Biography

After a few ordinary seasons, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) underwent a drastic change and managed to transform themselves into one of the most dominant teams in IPL. Under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, they won the IPL tournament twice, in the 2012 and 2014 editions. They are among the three teams in the eight-team tournament to win the IPL twice, with the other two teams being Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI).

The team possesses an excellent mix of talent that is from India and abroad. They continue to feature Shakib Al Hasan, who is among the first few players from Bangladesh in the IPL. They also have had the services of Ryan ten Doeschate, who has been one of the finest players in the history of cricket in the Netherlands.

KKR is co-owned by Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan, who keeps making occasional appearances in their matches and stirring a few controversies as well. Despite all the star-power they have and an immensely experienced coaching staff including Wasim Akram and Jacques Kallis, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) remain grounded and focussed on their job, all thanks to Gambhir.
