KOLKATA: Kolkata Knight Riders seem to have taken a step back to recreate the future. It has been 10 long years since the purple brigade last lifted the IPL trophy and to bring about a change in fortunes, they have roped in their two-time title-winning skipper Gautam Gambhir, whose return as the team’s mentor has created an air of expectation.
It’s often said that a good beginning is half the job done and KKR will look to make a winning start when they open their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens here on Saturday.
