KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) Home vs Away Win Performance

Home Advantage Over Time

KKR — Stronger at Home by 9.5 Percentage Points Across 14 Seasons

A season qualifies with 3+ matches both home and away · neutral venues count as away, so 2009 (South Africa) and 2020 plus part of 2021 (UAE) have no home record

The benefit of home ground shows in KKR's numbers: they have won 57.7% (56 of 97) at home against 48.2% (80 of 166) away. Home finished better in just over half of their 14 qualifying seasons; the direction turned less often than it held. The split was clearest in 2015: 83.3% (5 of 6) at home, 28.6% (2 of 7) away. The recent seasons buck that, though — their last three qualifying seasons have all favoured the road.

Home means a ground the club actually used as a home base that season, which is why these home totals are lower than sources that go by the scheduled home side. Neutral grounds count as away, and every ground the club has played at is listed. A win rate from fewer than 5 matches is greyed or shown as a plain count, to flag the small sample.
