Significantly, the Kolkata Knight Riders have become 2-time IPL champions. This team first won the title in the year 2012. While Kolkata Knight Riders became champion for the second time in the year 2014. Since then, Kolkata Knight Riders have never been able to win the IPL title. However, Kolkata Knight Riders fans hope that under the captaincy of Nitish Rana, the team can become champions for the third time. Let’s say IPL 2023 starts from March 31. In the first match of this season, there will be a team of Gujarat Titans led by Hardik Pandya facing Chennai Super Kings, captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
