Kolkata Knight Riders have been playing very well in this IPL so far, a total of 11 matches have been played, out of which Shreyas have won 8. Then it was seen that the KKR captain also set this precedent on Sunday.
This time a very great thing has happened in IPL, it seems that KKR Captain Shreyas Iyer has broken the 14 years old record of cricketer Sourav Ganguly. The Kolkata Knight Riders captain set a new precedent with the win against KL Rahul's team LSG in Lucknow on Sunday.
We already know that Sourav Ganguly was the captain of KKR cricket team from 2008 to 2010. And in these three seasons under his leadership, Kolkata won 13 matches in the IPL. And Shreyas Iyer topped Sourav's record as KKR captain. Fast forward to just a few years ago we see Sourav leading the team in 27 matches with 13 wins. But if you look at it from this side, Shreyas Iyer has led KKR in 25 matches and has won 14 matches so far. It is a remarkable thing.
On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir has the record of winning the most matches as the captain of KKK. The KKR mentor played 108 matches as the team's captain and won 61 matches. Dinesh Karthik is on the second place in this list. He led in 37 matches. KKR won 19 matches as captain. Calculations show that if Shreyas Iyer reaches all the matches till the final in the IPL, he will touch Karthik. And Sourav Ganguly will go to the fourth place there. What's more, Eoin Morgan is fifth in the list of wins as a captain. Nitish Rana is sixth in the list as the former England captain led 24 matches and won 11 matches here. Just last season, Nitish Rana led Kolkata Knight Riders to a six-match win streak after leading them in 14 matches. And England's Test team coach Brendon McCullum is in the seventh place. He became a captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, playing 13 matches and winning 3 matches.
