Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has been a two-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champion and as always it has geared up to put out a strong show in the Indian Premier League 2020, the 13th edition of the T20 cricket league. The Kolkata Knight Riders will kick off their game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium located in Bangalore on 31st March 2020.
The Knight Riders with Dinesh Karthik as the Captain had failed to reach the playoffs of the last season, as a result of which the franchise had dropped some of the key players from the team such as Robin Uthappa and Chris Lynn. In the IPL 2020 auctions that were concluded, KKR had bought the Australian pacer, Pat Cummins. He is one of the most expensive players in the 2020 auctions. A total of Rs 15.5 crore was spent to get him. The team has also tried to boost up their batting department by buying the winning captain of the 2019 world cup, Eoin Morgan for Rs 5.25 crore.
The Knight Riders will be playing their home leg-matches of this year's IPL at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Out of the total 14 matches, KKR will be playing two in the afternoon (starting at 4 pm) and 12 in the evening (starting at 8 pm). Kolkata Knight Riders will be playing its last IPL 2020 league match on 15th May against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
