The Knight Riders are searching for their third IPL title.
The side form Kolkata is probably the one which is more famous for its owner, Shah Rukh Khan, than its players. A stack of KKR fans are actually SRK fans who support the team only due to King Khan. Anyhow, the Gautam Gambhir-led side will be vying for their record third title along with Mumbai Indians who also have two.
