IPL: Kolkata Knight Riders' net worth and sources of revenue
Currently, Knight Riders are the second-richest franchise in the league, with a net worth of INR 740 crore.
1. Prize Money
As compared to other sources of income, IPL prize money is considered the least lucrative one, as it involves a small amount. So far, KKR have bagged the prestigious IPL prize amount twice with their marvellous title triumphs in 2012 and 2014. After failing to be up to the mark in the initial four seasons, KKR played an aggressive brand of cricket in the fifth season.
Snatching the title of champions from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2012, KKR got INR 10 crore at the end of the tournament. In 2014, they kept Punjab Kings away from the trophy by beating them by three wickets at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. This extraordinary achievement also handed them INR 15 crore.
In 2021, they made it to the final under the leadership of Eoin Morgan but couldn’t cross the line on D-Day, losing to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 27 runs. This time, for their magnificent journey as runners-up in the 14th edition of the league, Knight Riders received INR 12.5 crore.
