Launched in the cosmos, the three stars in the night sky also denote their tagline – ‘Korbo, Lorbo, and Jeetbo’ as a fitting tribute to their wins in the 2012, 2014, and 2024 seasons.

The clip features Knight Riders stars like Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Manish Pandey, Vaibhav Arora, and Manish Pandey, among others in the new kit. They stuck with purple and gold colors on the jersey. The new kit is available for purchase on their official website.
