The team has had a rollercoaster ride in the IPL, having won the tournament twice in 2012 and 2014, and also finishing as runners-up twice in 2014 and 2021. KKR has had a few ups and downs in its journey so far but has always managed to remain a strong contender in the league.
The Kolkata Knight Riders team is known for its aggressive style of play, especially in the batting department. The team has always had some of the best batsmen in the world, including Brendon McCullum, Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, and Andre Russell. KKR has also had some of the most skilled bowlers in the league, including Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, and Pat Cummins.
One of the most significant changes in the team came in 2018 when former South African cricketer Jacques Kallis was appointed as the team’s head coach. Under Kallis’s guidance, KKR has evolved into a much more balanced and disciplined team, capable of winning matches in any situation.
The team has a strong support staff that includes highly experienced coaches and trainers. The team’s batting coach, David Hussey, is a former Australian cricketer and has a wealth of experience in T20 cricket. The team’s bowling coach, Kyle Mills, is a former New Zealand fast bowler and has a vast knowledge of the game.
