If the first season was terrible, the second IPL season for Kolkata Knight Riders was an absolute disaster. In all the eleven seasons played out so far, the 2009 edition in South Africa remains Kolkata’s worst performance.

They were not only clueless on the field, but they had plenty of management problems to deal with as well. The ‘Fake Player’ blog had gained heat, and it harmed the team dynamics. Buchanan experimented with his 'multiple captains' theory and it made the team a laughing stock.

The team this year had illustrious names like Chris Gayle, Brad Hodge, Ajantha Mendis, and others. After winning their second match, KKR lost to Rajasthan Royals in a super over. This defeat sparked a streak of nine successive losses for Sourav Ganguly’s team. KKR could only muster three wins in the whole tournament and finished at the eighth and the last position.

Rating - 1/10
