One of the most unpredictable franchises this year will be the Kolkata Knight Riders. The team was among the franchises that gave out some tough competition to the other franchises but could not advance into the playoffs.
One of their most prominent matches was against the Gujarat Titans when Rinku Singh smashed five sixes to turn the match in their favour. The Knight Riders are expected to emerge as a dominant force in the upcoming season, and the credits go to coach Chandrakant Pandit for making it a formidable team. It led to AB de Villiers comparing the former India cricketer to a legendary football club manager.
