No Dada No KKR (or NDNKKR) is a protest group formed after Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), a Kolkata based franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), did not bid for ex-India captain Sourav Ganguly (Dada) during the IPL auctions. Ganguly was the fourth highest run scorer in the previous edition of IPL. He was rejected by KKR as well as all other franchises in the auction, leading to a Facebook protest from his fans. This was followed by a silent protest rally, signature campaigns throughout the country and abroad, a leaflet campaign, and stadium protests. NDNKKR and the campaigns both received national and international press attention. KKR's opening match had drastically lower attendance, and attendance during the rest of the season was also below full capacity.
