In this article we will discuss Kolkata Knight Riders, their current form, playing 11 KKR team and players list, schedule and squad for IPL 2021 in UAE in September
Kolkata Knight Riders are at the 7th spot after the completion of the first leg of IPL 2021
The 2 times IPL winners under Gautam Gambhir are struggling after his departure. The team is full of match-winners yet they only won 2 out of their 7 matches. Gautam Gambhir is the team’s all-time highest run-scorer, while Sunil Narine is the team’s leading wicket-taker. The team changed captain’s mid-seasons because of the failing run. Their qualification is dicey.
