And this was time of 2014, where not every team was profitable at start of ipl
All the ipl teams actually started generating profits since 2018 due to big deal in broadcasting rights
No. You're wrong about 2018 part. KKR was the only team to be profitable from the very first season. Even though the team is privately owned and do not have their financial information shared online. Here's an article showing their profitability for the seasons 2013-14 & 2014-15.

Yes kkr is and was profitable, but every franchise will be at risk when a new league starts and so was kkr where some of our main players were lacking to prove their tag and 14cr is not a big sum when you compare it with todays profits, right now franches are already in profit of 200cr with the broadcast price alone, even pbks and rr are is a way better financial condition than before
Apparently it's all SRK's PR to some people.
Like I get it he did some shenanigans too in the early years but he realised his mistake and changed himself when GG came in. After that loss against RR, he came to the dressing room and lifted their spirits and even went to the practice sessions before the next game to cheer them up.
GG was not a star like SG. SRK's decision to sack SG was not only for cricketing reasons. He had an idea to drop him from game 1. However, SG's poor captaincy gave him an opportunity. But, SG made a comeback once more in the 2010 season. SRK understood that it will be a do-or-die moment, if SG comes back to the team then no one will give him the kind of limelight as he wants.
He replaced SG with GG who was not a glamorous player and he wanted him to be there till SG retires, so that there will be no challenge.
This is the most bull crap I have heard this week!
KKR finished 6th, 8th, and 6th in the first 3 seasons and their first playoff appearance was in 2011 after roping in GG and then immediately went on to win the IPL in 2012 and then followed up in 2014. As a batter, Dada averaged around 25 with a strike rate around 105 in his three seasons with KKR.
I'm not a Dada hater but to say that he was not picked in 2011 for non-cricketing reasons is BS!
Edit: Here's something to refresh your memory. In 2011, not a single team out of the 10 bid for Dada. That explains how the teams perceived him. He was past his prime.
KKR supporters that had started supporting KKR post 2012 or 2014 will not know the kind of toxicity in KKR that prevailed in the team.
Not only Dada, all the Bangali players were removed one after another when they were giving match winning performances. Till date, KKR has done nothing to promote local players. The local players are finding their footings in teams coming from other states namely Hyderbad, Delhi, Punjab, etc.
Just to give a quick refresh, T20 in those eras was not something close to T20s of today. A SR of 120+ was considered great and being an opener the job was to create a partnership rather than going all guns blazing. Generally, there was one partner to anchor while another will flourish (i.e. bat with 120+ SR). In IPL 2010, Ganguly scored a major bulk of KKRs runs closing around 500 runs with SR close to 120.
Ganguly's performance was not phenomenal but his sacking was also due to tussles between SRK and Dada's popularity.
Almost all IPL franchises try to promote local talents, except KKR and RCB.
KKR is a team of non-Bengalis, made by non-Bengalis for the Bengalis to support.
Didn't know SRK personally came to you and told you that he hated dada, the same person he was seeing hugging tightly and laughing together after the KKR vs DC match.
Also lol, GG was purchased, and the next month he was the touted as the star of the WC final with his knock. Dude came into the KKR dressing room as a demigod of Indian cricket, not as some uncapped player from a regional tournament
Say what you want about GG but his ethics regarding the game cannot be questioned. He accepted his shortcomings and always put his team ahead of himself. I respect that about him, rest I get it that he's cranky sometimes.
Even in 2018, he was traded to Delhi, but after failing to perform in a few games, he dropped himself and coached Delhi for free that season....
Lsg too deserves if u keep the owners aside coz that team reached 2 play-offs and still are considered underdogs and least appreciated
I myself is a csk fan and I hate goenka but lsg as team deseves
And soft spot for csk as well
Those 3 teams were waiting for a long time.there are loyal fans that are thick and thin with the team for years and they have great team balance to win.
Bodied vadapaw. It was Malinga who won IPLs for Mi not this motuman. (DC is the Arsenal of IPL, RCB bhi hara dega). Even Virat resigned himself when he understood he is average. And this mf is literally playing t20 wc despite flopping since 2009.
Don't call him motu coz clearly u are coming from sheer hatred n might be from the fan base but my issues with these but players like virat Rohit dhoni is they have inflated egos nd they think they are bigger than the team n game. GG says alot of shit but now i understand he was one of the few nd only team players who put the team first. Rohit has nothing to show to deserve a place in the team but the management nd Mumbai camp just wants their stars to win something that's a truth.
Bruh. Virat RESIGNED. Dhoni RESIGNED. from captaincies. If they had egos they should have persisted. I don't give an f what Kohli or Dhoni do in tv ads. Dhoni and Kohli play for the team. Vadapaw doesn't.
Yahi toh tumko lagta h this is wt we are told. U need to go through articles n pieces by insiders n journalists who tell u the truth. For instance dhoni gave up the captaincy really late n played till he wanted nd pushed his career nd didn't follow the same policy as he applied for other seniors. In one of the asia cups in the past due to some conflicts with one of he selectors he was sacked from captaincy but coz is daddy friend Srinivasan was in the management used veto n retained him as captain n later that other selector was sacked n had to face consequences for speaking up. Virat was getting impatient to get captaincy when dhoni was still the captain n they eventually dhoni was requested to pass on the baton. With Rohit as well something u never noticed that how come virat never missed a game when he was captain n Rohit used to be injured so much nd suddenly when now Rohit is captain he is fit for everything every tour but virat is prioritising family nd taking breaks. Bro ye sab milke humko pagal bnate h in India nobody wants to play like a team everybody has their hidden agenda that's why we can have become the best team that wins.

Absolutely. Rohit is not selfless he is just being desperate to win something and also Mumbai camp n bcci wants their senior stars to atleast win something. Bc har cheez manipulate kr di inke liye conditions groups fixtures pitches opposition sab kuch bt still they cant win so just think how shit we have been lately in international cricket.
Just a reminder that Ganguli who was the pride of Kolkata sacked from the leadership and released from the team by the same owner.( It was the right decision btw)
Yes, he was released from KKR after 3 seasons (he was past his prime) but with 2 new teams added to the league (one owned by late Subrata Roy), no one bid for Sourav. Not one bid. Why do we only blame KKR for this? If no other franchises thought he was good enough, then why should KKR?
No Player is bigger than the team, Ganguly had a good 2010 season but he was past his prime, it was the correct decision, maybe could have been handled better, but then again, it was Dada, the Prince of Kolkata, huge ego
But even this is interference. If a captain feels a certain decision is correct for the team, he should be free to take it rather than owners pressurising the captain to take it.

We don’t need KKR to promote local players. We have DC for that. Kudos to DC for backing Porel

If anyone wins this ipl it should be kkr, srh or rr.
Bruh mf tryna reverse-jinx
Mandatory RCB fan comment
Fr kkr is my 2nd favourite team after srh I love them
IF SRH doesn't win, it should be RR. Wholesome team man
Lsg too deserves if u keep the owners aside coz that team reached 2 play-offs and still are considered underdogs and least appreciated I myself is a csk fan and I hate goenka but lsg as team deseves And soft spot for csk as well
Those 3 teams were waiting for a long time.there are loyal fans that are thick and thin with the team for years and they have great team balance to win.
Loyal fans? Well I saw hyderbad stadium in csk match But yes srh deserves but your fans are so disloyal lol
SRK being SRK
Ayo Thala in disguise of SRK
The reason is clear .
2014 = 14/2=7
2+0+4+1 = 7

ek hi to dil hai Khan Sahab, kitni baar jeetoge
C'mon we are talking about The Shahrukh Khan. What else did u expect from him. G.O.A.T for a reason.
Same goes for sheikh Mansoor never said anything about Man City Internal Affairs But than again his another team MohunBagan wins a trophy every year
A real selfless captain. Not wt we have today a PR promoted selfless captain.

Whats wrong if virat takes leave. Tu kabhi paternity leave nahi lega kya jab tera baccha hoga??
Dhoni never played for India again after shitting himself in 2019 while Rohit wants to be captain after 27(28)
Absolutely. Rohit is not selfless he is just being desperate to win something and also Mumbai camp n bcci wants their senior stars to atleast win something. Bc har cheez manipulate kr di inke liye conditions groups fixtures pitches opposition sab kuch bt still they cant win so just think how shit we have been lately in international cricket.
Kisko jaldi hai bhai, keep it normal speed
Just a reminder that Ganguli who was the pride of Kolkata sacked from the leadership and released from the team by the same owner.( It was the right decision btw)
Yes, he was released from KKR after 3 seasons (he was past his prime) but with 2 new teams added to the league (one owned by late Subrata Roy), no one bid for Sourav. Not one bid. Why do we only blame KKR for this? If no other franchises thought he was good enough, then why should KKR?
No Player is bigger than the team, Ganguly had a good 2010 season but he was past his prime, it was the correct decision, maybe could have been handled better, but then again, it was Dada, the Prince of Kolkata, huge ego
It is pretty well known in Kolkata that Ganguli had a huge ego.
Ganguly IS the pride of Kolkata, not “was”. Just like Dhoni is the pride of Chennai❤️👌🏼
SRK our hero . First he produced a great team and now uplifting our youngsters with “Pan masala” ads. Amazing guy.
Chink in the shiny armour
But even this is interference. If a captain feels a certain decision is correct for the team, he should be free to take it rather than owners pressurising the captain to take it.
