Kolkata Knight Riders In 2010 IPL Season
Kolkata Knight Riders’ performance from the last three seasons of Indian Premier League has been below par with the team not even once making it into the semi finals. But just as people say “Let bygones be bygones”, this season, with hordes of changes in the camp, including exclusion of former Kolkata captain Sourav Ganguly, and appointment of world cup winning Indian team member Gautam Gambhir as the new captain, the team will definitely look to renew their game and make amends for their past performances.
