The spirit of the team is embodied by KKR’s distinctive purple and gold uniforms and team anthem, “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo Re” (We will do, fight, and win). Resilience, tenacity, and a never-give-up mentality define the Knight Rider spirit.
The 2012 and 2014 champion squad Kolkata Knight Riders IPL 2023/season hasn’t been particularly noteworthy. The team competed in 14 games this season, winning just six of them. With 12 points, they finish the campaign in seventh in the points table.
Kolkata Knight Riders will have a lot of shortcomings to work on next season. The net rate for KKR is similarly negative (-0.239) in the points table. The leading cause of this is that, in every game they win, this side does it by a slim margin of runs or wickets. At the same time, whatever match it loses by a very high margin.
