Kolkata Knight Riders skipper (KKR) Shreyas Iyer posed with the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 trophy and celebrated his win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) inside the swimming pool. Shreyas took to his social media account to share a picture with the trophy from the poolside of KKR's team hotel on the morning after the IPL 2024 final.
"Taking you everywhere I go," said Shreyas Iyer.
SRH won the toss and elected to bat. KKR rocked SRH with continuous wickets, with the big buy Mitchell Starc justifying his Rs 24.75 crores price tag. Only skipper Pat Cummins (24 in 19 balls, with two fours and a six) and Aiden Markram (20 in 23 balls, with three fours) touched the 20-run mark and SRH was bundled out for 113 in 18.3 overs.
