Kolkata, April 3 (Cricketnmore) Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav on Monday said the two-time champions will go all out this time to add a third star on the jersey by bringing the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Usually, teams have stars on top of their badge or crest to depict the number of titles they have won.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The winners of the IPL in 2012 and 2014, KKR lost to eventual champions Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator last year by 22 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yadav managed just eight in that game as the Knights failed to chase down 162 posted by David Warner and co.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"There is not point thinking about last year. We have moved on and are thinking about this season," Yadav, who played a match-winning knock of 60 against Rising Pune Supergiant in the last edition, told reporters on the sidelines of a city jewellery company's tie-up with the purple brigade.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We have two stars on our shirt and hopefully will add a third giving you all reason to celebrate," the 26-year-old Mumbai lad added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile West Indian opener Darren Bravo, who suffered an injury scare early on while training with the team, said it's a feeling of homecoming for him as he plays for the same franchise in the Caribbean Premier League, Trinbago Knight Riders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"By all means, the IPL is the No.1 T20 competition in the world. I think I am very privileged to be part of the KKR team. KKR is the owner of CPL team (Trinbago Knight Riders), so for me its like a family and coming back home," the left-hander who is making a debut in the cash-rich league, said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
