The leading run-scorer of the side is Gautam Gambhir,[7] while the leading wicket-taker is Sunil Narine.[8] The official theme of the team is Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re (we will perform, fight and win!) and the official colours are purple and gold. The brand value of the Knight Riders was estimated at $104 million in 2018, second highest among IPL franchises.[9] In 2019, their value was estimated at ₹629 crore (US$88 million).[10]
