The Kolkata Knight Riders have endured heartbreak in the last two seasons of the IPL. They finished 5th in the points table both times, narrowly missing out on a play-off berth.
KKR last reached the knock-out stage in 2018. That year, they lost in the second qualifier against the eventual runners-up, Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The Knight Riders, incidentally, begin their IPL 2021 campaign on April 11 against the same franchise at Chepauk. The team from Kolkata will play their first three games at Chepauk before shifting base to Wankhede for the next two.They will then fly west to Ahmedabad to play the next four matches before ending their league campaign with five games at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
