Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is a very popular franchise of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Kolkata also get the support of a section of cricket lovers in Bangladesh due to giving more importance to Bangladeshi cricketers. Bangladesh opener Litton Das will play for KKR in this season of IPL.

Litton reached Kolkata on April 9 to play in the IPL. There is a lot of excitement about him in Kolkata. Ever since Litton entered India, Kolkata's social media has been filled with pictures and videos of Litton. KKR uploaded a video of Liton on social media recently.

In the caption of the video, Kolkata wrote, 'The Bangladeshi Tiger now in KKR Camp'. Litton said in the video, "I feel really good. I have been waiting eagerly for a long time in Bangladesh to join the team here.”

Kolkata got a great win against Gujarat Titans riding on Rinku Singh's explosive batting. Litton was on the plane when that match was going on. Later, after coming down, he learned about the unforgettable event of winning by hitting 5 sixes in the last 5 balls. Litton also talked about that match in the video, “Today when I landed, I learned about KKR’s win in a tough match against Gujarat and was overjoyed.”

Litton also spoke about the performance of the national team. He said, “Well, Bangladesh have been playing well. Specially, we executed the plans we have had for the last 2-3 years. I am proud that I play for Bangladesh and my team has been playing well. And now I want to carry that forward into KKR as well.”

The 28-year-old wicket-keeper batter is going to play in IPL for the first time this time. Another Bangladeshi Shakib Al Hasan was also supposed to play for KKR in this year's IPL. However, Shakib withdrew himself from the IPL due to personal reasons. Two cricketers from Bangladesh are playing in this year's IPL - Litton and Mustafizur Rahman of Delhi Capitals.
