Defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders did not start well. He had to face defeat in 2 out of 3 matches. But as soon as he reached his home i.e. Eden Gardens, he returned and on 3 April, Sunrisers Hyderabad crushed by 80 runs. With this big win, Kolkata made a special record. She has shown that feat, which no team has been able to do in the history of 18 seasons of IPL yet. Let us know which unique record KKR has set?

KKR's unique record

Kolkata's team looked very weak till now. But after beating a team like Sunrisers Hyderabad by a big margin, she has once again come into the limelight.

In the IPL, Kolkata defeated Hyderabad for the fourth consecutive time. Apart from this, KKR also won his 20th win against him in this tournament. With this, she has become the first team to win at least 20 matches against 3 different teams in the history of this tournament. Earlier, Kolkata Royal Challengers have defeated Bangalore (RCB) 21 times. At the same time, he has also defeated Punjab Kings 20 times.

However, KKR set a new record of winning at least 20 matches against 3 different teams. But the record of winning the most against the same opponent is the name of Mumbai Indians (Mi).

The interesting thing is that the Mumbai team has done this feat against Kolkata. Mi has won 24 matches against KKR. At the same time, Kolkata has defeated Mumbai only 11 times. In addition, Mi has won 20 wins against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), while CSK has won 21 matches against RCB.

Long jump in points table

KKR made a long jump in the points table as soon as KKR defeated Hyderabad. Earlier, she was in the last place with 2 points in 3 matches. Now after this strong win, she has 4 points in 4 matches and she has gone to number five with a net run rate of +0.070.

On the other hand, Hyderabad suffered a loss of this defeat and has slipped to the last place.
