If we talk about IPL we need to talk about the team who holds the record for the longest winning streak in IPL Kolkata Knight Riders. The team has won 14 matches in a row and it is also the maximum number of matches that a team has won consecutively. They hold a very good past record in the IPL as they have lifted the IPL trophy twice in the years 2012 and 2014. Their performance in the 2015 IPL was not the way their fans expected and they finished the IPL at 5th spot but they do have some great players in their side that can turn the game around for their team.
KKR will play their first match against Delhi Daredevils on 10th April and they will surely want to win their first match and start off their tournament on a high. They will be playing all their home games in the Eden Gardens Stadium which is the biggest stadium in India and the second biggest stadium in the World.
It has the capacity to hold 66,000 people and a crowd who is just too good for a cricket match and who can do anything to see their home team win. They have a very strong middle order and if any one player strikes from their middle order they will easily get to the 170 score mark which is a very good score on the Indian pitches. KKR enter the IPL 9 with a very strong team and they will be looking to win the tournament for the third time.
