Two-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to put up a strong show and reach the knockout stage in IPL 20, the 13th edition of the T20 cricket extravaganza. Knight Riders will kick off its IPL 2020 campaign in an away fixture against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 31.


After KKR, led by Dinesh Karthik, failed to reach the playoffs last season, the franchise recently dropped some key players like Robin Uthappa and Chris Lynn. In the recently concluded IPL 2020 auctions, KKR bought Australian pacer Pat Cummins, the most expensive player in the auction this season, by spending Rs 15.5 crore, which was more than a third of its available purse. The team also bolstered its side in the batting department by buying 2019 world cup winning captain Eoin Morgan for Rs 5.25 crore.


KKR will play its home leg-matches of IPL 2020 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Of its 14 matches, KKR will play two afternoon (4 pm starts) and 12 evening (8 pm start) matches. Kolkata Knight Riders will play its last IPL 2020 league match on May 15 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens.
