The Eoin Morgan-led outfit posted two photographs on its official Twitter handle. The first picture featured The Family Man characters, Srikant Tiwari and Chellam sir, portrayed by Manoj Bajpayee and Uday Mahesh, respectively. In the second snap, KKR cricketers Varun Chakravarthy and Dinesh Karthik could be seen celebrating a wicket. "Srikanth calls Chellam Sir, Varun calls DK Anna, Who is on your speed dial?"

Both Karthik and Chakravarthy had a mediocre run in the first leg of the 14th edition of the cash-rich league. Chakravarthy picked seven wickets for KKR in as many games at an economy rate of 7.34. Karthik, on the other hand, scored 123 runs in as many games at an average of 30.75 and a strike rate of 138.20.
Kolkata were placed at the seventh spot in the IPL table with just four points when IPL was halted on Many 4 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). KKR played seven games in the first phase of the league. They managed to win just two of those.
Kolkata would look for a change in fortunes when the second leg of the tournament kicks off in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) later this year.
