The
reigning
champions
Trinbago
Knight
Riders
released
a
short
film
today
titled
'We
Are
TKR'.
Trinbago
Knight
Riders
(TKR)
is
the
first
team
to
win
four
CPL
trophies
and
also
the
first
ever
to
have
an
unbeaten
championship
season.
With
CPL
scheduled
to
begin
on
August
26th
2021,
the
interest
around
the
matches
is
expected
to
reach
a
feverish
pitch
as
cricket
lovers
unite.
To
mark
the
start
of
this
season,
TKR
aims
to
give
the
fans
a
glimpse
into
their
journey
through
a
short
film
that
documents
the
team
since
the
Knight
Riders'
Group
took
over
the
Trinidad
&
Tobago
franchisee
in
2015.
The
short
film
takes
the
audiences
through
highs
and
lows
that
makes
TKR
one
of
the
most
resilient
and
loved
team
by
their
fans.
Below
are
excerpts
from
the
video:
Kieron
Pollard,
Captain,
TKR:
It
was
a
special
feeling
winning
the
tournament
in
2020,
without
losing
a
game.
We
have
won
titles
before
but
winning
one
where
you
didn't
lose
and
becoming
undisputed
champions,
I
think
is
a
fantastic
achievement.
Also,
that
we
are
the
first
ones
to
do
this
in
T20
cricket
in
the
world,
is
something
no
one
can
take
away
from
us.
Sunil
Narine,
Player,
TKR:
Look
at
the
fans,
they
support
us
as
Trinidad
and
Tobago!
Yes,
we
are
TKR,
but
they
support
us
like
it's
a
country
team
not
a
franchise...because
if
we
lose
its
like
Trinidad
lost
the
game.
Venky
Mysore-
Director
TKR:
A
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
kind
of
environment
we
have
built
in
TKR.
I
have
seen
other
franchises
around
the
world
and
something
like
this
doesn't
happen
automatically,
it's
not
an
accident,
it
has
to
be
planned.
Shah
Rukh
Khan-
Co-owner
the
Knight
Riders
Group:
When
Mr
Venky
Mysore
said,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
CPL
and
acquire
the
Trinbago
Knight
Riders,
I
was
really
thrilled,
as
I
feel
a
certain
kind
of
love
and
attachment
for
it.
I
love
the
idea
of
music,
the
way
people
dance
here
and
are
so
happy,
it's
a
little
more
than
a
sport
there.
The
whole
community
comes
out
and
enjoys
itself
&
cricket
has
such
a
great
legacy
in
the
West
Indies
The
2021
Caribbean
Premier
League
(CPLT20)
is
in
the
ninth
season
of
the
domestic
Twenty20
cricket
league.
Trinbago
Knight
Riders
(TKR)
will
face
the
Guyana
Amazon
Warriors
in
the
opening
fixture
on
August
26.
