KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
HOME GROUND
Kolkata Knight Riders is the franchise representing Kolkata in the Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 cricket tournament. The team was led by Sourav Ganguly in IPL 1 and IPL 3 and Brendon McCullum in IPL 2. Gautam Gambhir has been captaining the team since 2011. Sourav Ganguly was the team's Icon Player for the first three seasons.
The official theme of the team is Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re for We will do it, Fight for it, Win it) and the official colors are purple. As per the recent study done by a UK based brand valuation company, Kolkata Knight Riders are ranked as the second most valuable franchise brand at US$46 million. Celebrity co-owner Shahrukh Khan’s hard-selling of the KKR brand has counteracted the team’s poor on-field performance through the first three seasons.The team's performance, however, improved in the fourth season as it qualified for the IPL playoffs and also made it to the Champions League Twenty20 for the first time.
The home of the Kolkata Knight Riders is Eden Gardens, the largest and most iconic cricket stadium in India.
