IPL 2025: Golden badge for Kolkata Knight Riders, know what is this new honour?
Golden Badge for Kolkata Knight Riders: The countdown to IPL 2025 has started and this time something new will be seen in the tournament. Every team is introducing its new kit, but the defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has added a special thing to its jersey, that is the golden badge. Let’s know, what is the meaning of the golden badge for Kolkata Knight Riders?
What is special about the Golden Badge?
This badge is not just a style statement but the beginning of a new tradition in the IPL. Just like the champion team wears a golden badge in European football leagues, this trend has now started in the IPL as well. From IPL 2025, whichever team wins the previous season will get the honour of wearing a golden badge on its jersey.
By winning the IPL 2024 title, the Kolkata Knight Riders have become the first team to wear this prestigious badge. Now, whichever team lifts the IPL 2025 trophy will get a chance to wear this golden badge in IPL 2026.
