Is KKR's title drought about to stretch even longer?
As IPL 2026 gears up to kick off on March 28, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are facing some serious questions. Irfan Pathan has highlighted a major concern that could derail their hopes of lifting the trophy for the first time since 2014. With fan expectations sky-high, the pressure's on for one of the most celebrated franchises in IPL history.
Pathan pointed out that KKR's squad depth might not be as strong as in previous seasons. In a tournament where injuries and form slumps are part and parcel, relying on a handful of star players can lead to disaster. With the competition fiercer than ever, KKR need to pull their socks up and ensure they have a solid bench to back up their main guns.
The two-time champions have made some headline-grabbing signings, but will they be enough? Fans are hoping for a cohesive unit that can gel quickly and turn potential into performance. Can KKR finally break their trophy drought or will they yet again fall short? Only time will tell, but the alarm bells are ringing loud and clear.
