Solution

You can use the `dataBound` event:

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
    sortable: true,
    dataSource: [{
        name: "Jane Doe",
        age: 30
    }, {
        name: "John Doe",
        age: 33
    }],
    columns: [{
        field: "name"
    }, {
        field: "age"
    }, {
        field: "rowNumber",
        title: "Row number",
        template: "<span class='row-number'></span>"
    }],
    dataBound: function () {
        var rows = this.items();
        $(rows).each(function () {
            var index = $(this).index() + 1;
            var rowLabel = $(this).find(".row-number");
            $(rowLabel).html(index);
        });
    }
});
