KKR also have Dish TV, Royal Stag and entertainment channel Colors as official sponsors. In addition, a Sansui logo will appear on the back of the jersey.

Partially owned by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, the Kolkata-based franchise have won the IPL twice under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. They beat Kings XI Punjab in the final in last season’s edition of the competition, mainly thanks to a splendid 94 from Manish Pandey.

They begin their 2015 campaign with a match against the Mumbai Indians on April 8 at the Eden Gardens.
