7. Kolkata Knight Riders
The Knight Riders’ success story began at the 2011 auction table when they signed Gautam Gambhir. That’s where their history changed and they started asserting dominance as one of the finest in the world. Kolkata needed an inspirational leader at the helm and they found that in Gambhir.
They went on to win their first title in 2012, where they defeated Chennai Super Kings in a breathtaking finale. It didn’t take long for them to get their hands on their second title, defeating Kings XI Punjab in 2014 final. They also made some fine recruitments in Sunil Narine, Robin Uthappa and Andre Russell, who have been a huge part of their success story.
The Kolkata Knight Riders parted ways with Gambhir in 2018 and handed the captaincy duties to Dinesh Karthik. They made it to the top three once and had a dismal season in 2019, it’ll be interesting to see how far they will go in the coming seasons.
