It’s resurrection time for two-time IPL champion Kolkata Knight Riders.
A decade’s journey without a crown has whetted KKR’s appetite like never before. It is evident from the return of the franchise’s only successful captain Gautam Gambhir in a new role as the mentor.
After its last title triumph in 2014, KKR has made it to the playoffs thrice (2016-18) and has finished runner-up once in 2021. Gambhir is expected to inculcate the winner’s attitude into the purple-and-gold brigade and end its title drought.
