Kolkata Knight Riders since the last few seasons has been having a tough time in the league. They have struggled to get going and finished in the lower half of the table in the last two editions of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
But the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be a great opportunity for them to make a strong comeback and win their third title in the league. They are the second most successful team in the league with 2 titles under their belt.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have some big names in their squad this time around. Shreyas Iyer will be captaining the team and his presence will be a massive boost for the team as he missed the last season due to injury. There are quite a few international players as well in the ranks.
The likes of Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Mitchell Starc, and others will be vital for the team. It’s fair to say that if they play to their potential, no one can stop them from winning the third title because on paper they are looking for the strongest team in the tournament.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) also will be under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir, who was recently roped in by the franchise. He was one of the main reasons behind the franchise winning the title two times as he was the captain of the team at that time and made the side a dominating force in the tournament.
However, this time around, Gautam Gambhir will perform a different role. But his presence will make a huge difference in the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) dressing room. He would want to take the team to glory this time around. He has been giving great motivation to the players in the pre-season camp. The Shreyas Iyer-led side will open their campaign in the IPL 2024 against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 23rd March.
