The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) revealed their jersey for the upcoming Indian Premier League season. The management unveiled the team kit on Saturday through a video presentation featuring actor Rajat Bedi alongside squad members Manish Pandey and Ramandeep Singh.
The franchise designed the jersey around a theme called Lines of Legacy. This concept uses abstract linear art to incorporate the team’s initials into the fabric. The design draws inspiration from iconic moments, including the inaugural-match century by Brendon McCullum and the five consecutive sixes by Rinku Singh.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ Fixtures In IPL 2026
The team looks to bounce back after a difficult campaign during the 2025 edition. Despite winning their third championship in 2024, the Kolkata Knight Riders finished eighth in the points table last year. They secured only five wins in fourteen matches, failing to qualify for the playoffs and prompting changes to their coaching staff.
The Kolkata Knight Riders will open their new campaign under the leadership of captain Ajinkya Rahane and head coach Abhishek Nayar. They face the Mumbai Indians in an away fixture on March 29. Following that match, they will return to Eden Gardens to host Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, and Lucknow Super Giants in early April.
