They had names like Ricky Ponting, Chris Gayle and (briefly) Shoaib Akhtar and promising young Indians like Ishant Sharma and Iqbal Abdullah, The best finish achieved in the first three seasons was 6th place.

Winning two titles in three years for KKR is still in highlight. Its first victory in 2012 was a milestone as the team performed very poorly in the first four of her seasons. A win in 2014 defeated Kings XI Punjab on their way to 200 and cemented this year’s team as legends forever and it is unforgottable.
