IPL: 5 major records made by KKR in tournament history
There have been times when KKR have etched their names in history books through their exploits on the cricket field.
1. The longest winning streak in IPL
Kolkata Knight Riders had a good start to their IPL 2014 campaign, winning two of their first three games. But then they succumbed to four consecutive defeats and their campaign was in shambles.
A few more losses could have ended KKR’s hopes of making it to the playoffs and they needed to get their act together as soon as possible. Gambhir & co. did just that as they played some exceptional cricket and scripted a dramatic turnaround, winning all seven remaining league stage games to reach the playoffs.
Making it to the knockout stages did not stop Kolkata and they conquered table-toppers Kings XI Punjab in the first Qualifier and then again in the Final to clinch their second IPL trophy. KKR won nine consecutive games in the seventh edition of the cash-rich league and opened the 2015 season with a win, making it 10 victories in a row. Kolkata’s stunning 10-match winning streak is the longest in the history of the cash-rich league and it will take some getting to break the record.
