For many years, TTK Prestige has been a fixture in Indian kitchens, facilitating generations of people to enjoy cooking with ease. Like the game itself, this partnership with KKR enables us to rethink the kitchen as a place of enjoyment, excitement, and shared experiences. This series is really unique, and we're excited to be a part of it as we watch players leave the field and enter the kitchen, overcoming obstacles with humor and camaraderie.
"In India, cricket is an emotion as much as a sport. It also has the ability to unite individuals from different generations and cultures, much like food. By combining these two interests, Knight Bites provides fans with an uncommon, unvarnished look at KKR players off the cricket field. The show turns cooking into an interesting and exciting activity full of humor, friendship, and healthy competition while showcasing TTK Prestige's state-of-the-art kitchen appliances.
