KKR names Disha Eye Hospitals official vision partner

MUMBAI: KKR just found the perfect partner to keep their vision sharp because when you’re chasing another IPL title, even the eyes need a champion behind them. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), three-time IPL winners, have announced Disha Eye Hospitals as their official vision partner for the 2026 Indian Premier League season. The collaboration unites the cricket franchise with one of East India’s leading ophthalmology chains, which operates 20 branches and has been delivering affordable, world-class eye care since 1997.

Headquartered in Kolkata, Disha Eye Hospitals aligns with KKR’s fan-first ethos and community commitment, aiming to make genuine eye health accessible across the City of Joy and beyond. The partnership reflects shared values of excellence, accessibility and relentless pursuit on the pitch and in patient care.

KKR CEO Venky Mysore said, “This partnership strengthens our commitment to Kolkata’s community through a collaboration rooted in shared values of excellence and accessibility. Our association with Disha Eye Hospitals will enable us to deliver meaningful impact for fans on and off the field.”

Disha Eye Hospitals chairman and managing director Debasish Bhattacharya added, “When we founded Disha Eye Hospitals in 1997, our vision was simple yet profound: to ensure that world-class, affordable eye care is a fundamental right for everyone. Partnering with a champion team like KKR feels like a natural extension of that ethos. KKR represents the passion of Bengal, and Disha represents its care.”

The announcement comes ahead of the 2026 IPL season, where KKR will once again look to defend their legacy while extending their community reach through eye health initiatives. In a tournament where every boundary counts, this partnership proves that clear vision isn’t just for batsmen, it’s for Bengal too.
