The Kolkata Knight Riders Team is a cricket franchise and reprsent the Kolkata in IPL 6 (Indian Premier League) and Kolkata Knight Riders is owned by Famous King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan’s Company Red Chillies Entertainment in partnership with Bollywood Herione Juhi Chawla and with her husband Jay Mehta from the Mehta Group.
Kolkata Knight Riders: quality proposition but some holes to plug. Largely in keeping with the rejoicing fact that they are the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders have retained all but 4 of their players for the 2013 edition. Yet, one wonders if the formula that helped them win in 2012 will hold true this time too.
Kolkata Knight Riders, winners of the 2012 edition of the tournament, will commence their quest to retain the title, on home turf. They will take on Delhi Daredevils in the IPL 2013 inaugural clash of the competition at the Eden Gardens, on 3 April 2013.
