#1 Robin Uthappa

According to recent developments, Robin Uthappa is being seen as the future captain of the team. Sourav Ganguly has chosen Uthappa for the role over other potential candidates who may captain the side.
Uthappa has been with the Kolkata team since the 2014 edition of the league and his contribution as a batsman has been valuable for the team. He has scored 1806 runs in 58 matches that he has played for the franchise over the previous 4 seasons.
He carries little experience as a captain, captaining India A team on tour of Australia in 2013. Kolkata Knight Riders used their Right to Match card to retain Uthappa at a price of Rs. 6.4 crore.
