Three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have roped in a former champion with the franchise, Manvinder Bisla, in a bid to bolster the coaching staff ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) season. Notably, Bisla became a celebrated hero in KKR folklore after he played a match-winning knock of 89 in the IPL 2012 Final against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and propelled Kolkata to their maiden title.
The news of Bisla’s appointment was confirmed by KKR on their social media handles in a video where head coach Abhishek Nayar can be seen introducing the newest members of the backroom support staff. Manvinder Bisla, along with Biju George will now spearhead the socut and talent department of the team.
