Kolkata Knight Riders are one of the 7 teams which are playing in IPL since their inaugural season in 2008. KKR have won the IPL two times in 2012 and 2014, both times under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. Last season they were beaten by CSK in the finals. The Kolkata club is one of the most successful IPL clubs only behind Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in terms of IPL trophies.
Now, KKR has planned to enter the Metaverse with the “Galaxy Of Knights”. The Metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. In futurism and science fiction, it is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets.
