Mamata Banerjee Congratulates Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for IPL 2024 Win
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee congratulated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for their triumphant win in the IPL 2024, marking their third victory in the prestigious tournament. The franchise previously clinched the title in 2012 and 2014 under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir.
As KKR emerged victorious after a decade, CM Mamata Banerjee took to social media to extend her heartfelt congratulations to the team, led by captain Shreyas Iyer, mentored by Gautam Gambhir, and coached by Chandrakant Pandit. She also commended the support staff for their contributions to the team’s success.
“Kolkata Knight Riders’ win has sparked a wave of celebration throughout Bengal. I would like to personally congratulate the players, support staff, and the franchise for their outstanding performance in this season of the IPL,” wrote Banerjee on social media.
Expressing her hopes for more triumphs in the future, Banerjee added, “Wishing for more such enchanting victories in the years to come.”
The IPL final 2024 match between KKR and SRH saw SRH captain Pat Cummins winning the toss and choosing to bat first. However, the team faced early setbacks, losing wickets in the first over and setting a meager target of 113 runs, the lowest in IPL history. KKR chased down the target in just 10.3 overs, securing a resounding victory by eight wickets.
Fans of KKR and cricket enthusiasts alike took to social media to celebrate the team’s remarkable achievement, with many praising the players for their determination, teamwork, and unforgettable moments on the field.
The win not only brought glory to the Kolkata Knight Riders but also united fans across Bengal in a shared sense of pride and joy. As the celebrations continue, all eyes are now on the team’s future endeavors and the promise of more victories to come.
