IPL 2018: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) full schedule, matches, venues

Lucknow: Gautam Gambhir will be a major missing for Kolkata Knight Riders but the installation of Dinesh Karthik as skipper, the Nidahas Trophy finals hero, has pumped up the entire side.

KKR is equipped with some fancy cricketing talents like Robin Uthappa, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Chris Lynn, Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill etc.

In 2017, KKR lost to eventual champions Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2. The Jacques Kallis-coached side will at least look to make the playoffs as its first goal this time.
