==Knight Riders Group== | |||
Kolkata Knight Riders is part of the Knight Riders Group (KRG), a global brand in cricket, with franchises in the [[Caribbean Premier League]] and [[2022 Women's Caribbean Premier League|Women's Caribbean Premier League]] ([[Trinbago Knight Riders]]), in the [[International League T20]] (Abu Dhabi Knight Riders) of UAE and the upcoming [[Major League Cricket]] ([[Los Angeles Knight Riders]]). KRG had also acquired a franchise in [[Cricket South Africa]]'s T20 Global League, but the league was eventually scrapped and replaced with Mzansi Super League due to the absence of the board to secure a broadcasting deal.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Nayar |first1=K.
