Kolkata Knight Riders' contingent were seen having fun on March 20th (Wednesday) as the franchise's official social media handles posted videos of the same. In a viral video, dashing finisher Rinku Singh and coach Chandrakant Pandit were seen dancing, while spin bowler Suyash Sharma sang a melodious song from the movie 'Animal'.
Both Rinku Singh and Chandrakant Pandit were seen dancing to the song 'Ole Ole', with all the cricketers well dressed for the event. Mitchell Starc, who fetched an enormous INR 24.75 crore from the two-time champions, was seen posing for pictures with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Anukul Roy as the event turned into a colourful one.
Kolkata Knight Riders look to win their 3rd title in IPL history:
Led by Shreyas Iyer, the Knight Riders will look to win their 3rd title in IPL history when they open their campaign against the SunRisers Hyderabad at the iconic Eden Gardens on March 23rd. While the Kolkata-based franchise made it to the final in the 2021 edition, they ended up in the bottom-half of the points table in the following two seasons.
With Gautam Gambhir as mentor and the former captain who masterminded Kolkata's two title victories, the franchise will feel hopeful of winning the title. A lot will ride on Mitchell Starc, given his ability to swing the new ball and bringing the searing yorkers into play at the death. Focus will also be on Shreyas Iyer, who was under an injury cloud following the Ranji Trophy final.
