KKR independently viable, says team CEO

“KKR has become an independently viable franchise. This means we do not have any debts and have covered all our losses and have reasonably grown,” Mysore told reporters during an interaction last evening.

“Now the challenge is to keep building. So we are looking across different brands and as a strategy acquired a franchise in Caribbean Premier League,” he said, referring to their integration of jersey colours of both the teams. 

KKR sports a red jersey during practice but Mysore clarified they are very much a purple-brigade and it’s part of a branding exercise for their CPL team Trinbago Knight Riders. 

“As a part of branding exercise this time the colour of the practice jersey will be the same as the colour of CPL team Trinbago Knight Riders. “And when we play there in August we will do the reverse, which means our practice jersey CPL will be purple and gold like what he have in IPL. So we are in the process of integrating our franchises,” he said. KKR had posted the highest revenue among all IPL teams in 2014-15.
