Bollywood superstar and Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner, Shah Rukh Khan, celebrated KKR’s thrilling victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 final with a heartfelt Instagram post. On Wednesday, Khan shared a joyous picture featuring the entire KKR team proudly holding the IPL trophy, accompanied by his wife Gauri Khan and their children Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam.
In his emotional caption, Khan praised the team, stating, “To my boys, my team, my champs ‘these blessed candles of the night.’ My Star of KKR I cannot do a lot of things and you cannot do them all either…but together we manage most of them. That’s what @KKRiders stood for. Simply being together.”
Khan highlighted the contributions of key team members including Gautam Gambhir, Abhishek Nayar, Shreyas Iyer, Tendo, Bharathi Arun, Nathan Leamon, and David Crowe. He quoted Gambhir, saying, “GG said if you can’t support a single vision as a team…you are leading to a division in the team. Each player understood that. Young and old. The Trophy is not a testament of having the best players in the team.”
Expressing gratitude to KKR fans, Khan added, “Boys you are all made of Star stuff!! Love you all and don’t let the dancing stop! Also, so happy and thankful for each and every KKR fan and I hope all around the world youngsters learn that tough times don’t last. Finally, tough and happy teams do! Korbo…Lorbo Jeetbo….Always. See you all at the stadia in 2025.”
KKR’s victory marked their third IPL title, celebrating at Chepauk, the same ground where they won their first title in 2012 under Gautam Gambhir’s leadership. KKR’s bowlers restricted SRH to 113, and the team chased the total in just 10.3 overs with eight wickets in hand, sealing a memorable win.
