CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Subject is engaged in the business of owning and operating Kolkata franchisee of the India Premier League (IPL), a T-20 cricket tournament governed by The Board of Control for Cricket in India (“BCCI”). The Company has secured Franchise rights from BCCI for forming its cricket team under the brand name ‘Kolkata Knight Riders’ or ‘KKR’. The Company was incorporated on 27th February, 2008 in the state of Maharashtra.

 

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE OUTLOOK:

 

a) New Marketing campaign- ONE TEAM ONE PLEDGE.

 

As an extension to the marketing campaign of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) new strapline “One Team. One Pledge” along with the Bengali phrase ‘Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo’ (“we will do it, fight for it, win it”) was created. This campaign was designed with an intention to excite and motivate KKR’s loyal fans and to help attract and boost new fans. The origin of this tagline related to the belief “Team KKR” concept – no individual is bigger than the team. Their new theme – “One Team. One Pledge.” was consistent with this philosophy as well as KKR’s continued commitment to the promise of “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo”.

 

b) Performance of KKR in IPL 2013

 

IPL 2013 was such a great start wherein we the defending champions kick-started in grand style by winning their first match of the competition in convincing fashion. Although it started off well but thereon out of 16 matches KKR could win only 6 matches and ended 7th on the point table and failed to qualify for the IPL 2013 Play-Offs and hence failed to defend the title. The Team had players who had suffered injury like Manoj Tiwary, James Pattinson, Pradeep Sangwan, Laxmiratan Shukla and one of the key player Brad Haddin was only partially available due to family emergencies. Due to which the Team could not perform to its potential and thereby lost its chance to qualify for CLT20, 2013.

 

c) Changes in the support staff after IPL 2013 new players for IPL 2014

 

Changes in the Support staff

 

1)       The Support staff of KKR in IPL 2013 missed, Mr. Wasim Akram- the bowling coach and mentor of KKR who was unable to participate in the succeeding IPL 2013 season due to his family commitments.

 

2)       Mr. Trevor Penney who was appointed a fielding coach last year and was given a termination notice. The management discussed and felt that due to his commitments to the national team, KKR would not be able to fully benefit from his expertise during pre-season camps as well as development projects during IPL 2014. Hence it was mutually decided to terminate his contract.

 

3)       Mr. WV Raman was appointed as batting coach for two seasons IPL 2014 and IPL 2015. Mr. Raman have had a distinguished track record in both domestic and international levels and had coached Tamil Nadu and Bengal with a great deal of success in domestic competition.

 

His experience with the Bengal team and at the Eden Gardens would be really useful going into the forthcoming IPL Season 2014.

 

4)       Mr. Joy Bhattacharjya would again take up the role of Team Director with KKR for IPL 2014.

 

Player retention and player auctions 2014

 

Ahead of the auctions for IPL 2014 held in Bangalore on 12th February and 13th February 2014, the Team had option to retain 5 players. But based on KKR's performance in last IPL 2013 and its desire to maintain its core team, KKR management decided to retain only 2 players been Gautam Gambhir and Sunil Narine. All other players were released and majority of the old players were selected from the auction. The new squad of 21 players had depth in all aspects of batting, bowling and all-rounder.

Yusuf Pathan rated his 22-ball 72 for the Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday higher than his 37-ball hundred for the Rajasthan Royals back in 2010 because this one helped the Knight Riders defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets and finish second in the group stages.

 

KKR's top two finish means they get two cracks at the final and Yusuf, who bagged the Man of the Match award seemed elated that this monstrous effort helped his team of four years finish the league stage on a high: "My hundred for the Royals was also a very good innings but if I have to compare, this knock would rate as the best I have ever played. Back then I was run-out and could not win the match for my team, unlike tonight."

 

Yusuf walked in to bat with KKR on 55/2 in the 8th over and it the course of his stay, it also looked like the hosts would struggle to win the game, let alone reach the target of 161 in 15.2 overs. But thanks to the seven sixes by the burly Baroda batsman, KKR got there in 14.2, a whole over early.

 

Yusuf has come under harsh criticism for often getting out at crucial junctures, playing rash shots. He was not retained by the 2012 champions, who used their 'Right to Match' card to bag him in the player auctions this year and it turned out to be a great buy.

 

Undeterred by varying opinions on him, Yusuf said he only played the way the team needed him to: "I have never really been worried about losing my wicket. I play to win, I play for my team and if I get out in the process, then so be it. I don't care about what people say."

 

The 31-year-old discard, who became a father earlier in this tournament, said he hit form at the right time: "I hit form at the right time. It's a great feeling when the ball hits the middle of the bat and goes a long way into the stands."

 

Yusuf had managed only140 runs from nine innings before this game and the 72 was his joint highest over the last two years. In 2013, Yusuf had scored 72 but that had come in a losing cause.

 

Yusuf's knock, in fact, drew high praise from Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir, who has himself played several match-winning knocks for KKR and India

 

"I have never seen an innings like Yusuf's and I don't think I ever will. I have only dreamt of such a knock but I saw it in reality tonight." Gambhir said at the post-match presentation.

 

Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Darren Sammy, who was deflated after his team was knocked out of the IPL, said: "I wish I could play shots like Yusuf; what a phenomenal hitter he is. All credit to Yusuf for going on the way he did."

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS LAND COKE’S SPRITE BRAND AS SPONSOR

 

19 February 2009

 

Kolkata Knight Riders, the leading IPL team owned and run by some of India's biggest Bollywood stars, has scored Coca-Cola India as an associate sponsor. Coke will use Sprite lemonade, the second biggest soft drinks brand in India, as the title brand. In a side deal it has also been named as the official beverage of the Indian Premier League


Coca-Cola is believed to have beaten out its close rival Pepsi-Cola for the deal. Pepsi recently terminated a decade-long association with KKR's Bollywood star owner Shah Rukh Khan and sources say the company offered a one-year IPL sponsorship deal worth around US$800,000 as a 'golden handshake'.

 

But Pepsi withdrew after Coke secured all the TV advertising sports available on the Sony Max channel during the series. Sony Max has exclusive broadcast rights domestically. 


The Sprite branding will appear on the players' shirt sleeves and helmets. Sprite will also have stadium hoardings and activation rights for all seven home-matches at the Knight Riders' home venue, the Eden Gardens, according to a release.


The team is owned by Shah Rukh Khan, actress Juhi Chawla and her husband, Jay Mehta who were all involved in landing the deal.
 


The Knight Riders have been scouting for a sponsor ever since real estate major Housing Development and Infrastructure Limited (HDIL), which had the deal last season, pulled out this year because of the economic slowdown.
 


The Sprite lemonade brand will be used by the Knight Riders as part of the promotions and likewise Coca-Cola will use the KKR branding on its products and advertising. A sports industry insider said: "Coupled with the official deal this is a win-win for all parties...except Pepsi."


A Pepsi insider said: "Pepsi does not want to be in a situation where it spends money on any IPL property, but is unable to leverage that through ads on Sony Max. The channel's on-air deal promises exclusivity to a sponsor in the category." The same insider said: "We could not get a single spot aired on Sony Max, as Coca-Cola picked up the sponsor slots blocking the entire category."


KKR co-owner Jay Mehta said. "Kolkata Knight Riders has far exceeded the expectation of competitors and compatriots in terms of our fan following and the success of our brand and business.
 


"With Sprite now on board, I am confident we will together provide more enhanced experiences to our fans and consumers, making the second season of IPL all the more action-packed and exciting."
