The Kolkata Knight Riders (also known by the acronym KKR) is a cricket franchise representing Kolkata in the Indian Premier League.

Although the team has gained immense popularity due to its association with celebrity owners, it was surrounded with controversy and poor on-field performance through the first three years of the tournament.〔 The team's performance, however, improved from the fourth season as it qualified for the IPL playoffs and made it to the Champions League Twenty20. They eventually became the IPL champions for the first time in 2012, by defeating Chennai Super Kings in the final and repeated the feat in 2014, defeating Kings XI Punjab.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=KKR beat CSK )〕 The Knight Riders hold the record for the longest winning streak by any Indian team in T20s (14).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/305308.html )
The leading run-scorer of the side is Gautam Gambhir,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kolkata Knight Riders / Records / Twenty20 matches / Most runs )〕 while the leading wicket-taker is Sunil Narine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kolkata Knight Riders / Records / Twenty20 matches / Most wickets )〕 The official theme of the team is ''Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re'' (We will do, we will fight, we will win) and the official colors are purple and gold. The brand value of the Kolkata Knight Riders was estimated at $86 million in 2015, the highest valuation amongst all eight teams by a margin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= KKR beats CSK in brand race )
== Franchise history ==

In 2008, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) created the cricket tournament Indian Premier League based on the Twenty20 form of the game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Cricinfo )〕 Eight teams would participate in the inaugural tournament held in April – June of the same year. The teams representing the eight different cities of India were put up on auction in Mumbai on 20 February. The team representing Kolkata was eventually bought by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's company Red Chillies Entertainment in partnership with actress Juhi Chawla and her husband Jay Mehta for a price of 3 billion, around $75 million at that time. Sourav Ganguly, the former captain of the Indian national team, a native of West Bengal (nicknamed as ''Bengal Tiger'', ''Dada'' or ''Prince of Kolkata'') was named the Icon Player for the team.
The name of the team is a reference to the popular 1980s American television series Knight Rider.
In June 2015, they bought a stake in the Caribbean Premier League cricket team Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel.〔http://www.espncricinfo.com/caribbean-premier-league-2015/content/story/885765.html〕
