The real game changers and underdogs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 were the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). From the auction table to appointing Gautam Gambhir as a mentor, KKR stated their motive clearly: they have come to win the trophy.

They are just one step away from lifting their third IPL trophy and need to defeat SRH on Sunday. As they prepare for the IPL final, here are KKR’s records in playoffs.
