The Kolkata Knight Riders, one of the most successful teams in IPL history, have had a rollercoaster journey with their three title wins. After triumphs in 2012 and 2014 under Gautam Gambhir’s captaincy, they had to wait until 2024 for their third title, with Gambhir now serving as a mentor. With Gambhir no longer part of the franchise, veteran Ajinkya Rahane has taken over as captain for the upcoming IPL 2025 season.
