India, March 13 -- The Kolkata Knight Riders rank as the third most successful team in IPL history, yet this fact often fades from memory due to the decade-long wait for their third title. Their first triumph came in 2012, followed by a second victory just two years later in 2014, both under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. After a long drought, they reclaimed the crown in 2024, with Gambhir serving as a mentor. Now, with Gambhir no longer part of the franchise, KKR have turned to veteran Ajinkya Rahane as captain, aiming to defend their title and make it two in a row. Can they rise to the challenge?
