KL Rahul congratulates KKR
Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul had made an online post, complimenting and congratulating KKR on their impressive win in the tournament.
“A team that was consistent throughout the competition. A team that played an exciting brand of cricket. A team that deserved to win this season. Many congratulations KKR” the Instagram story stated.
KL Rahul’s team LSG was an average performer this season, and they could not get to the playoffs either.
Sunil Narine Becomes MVP
KKR’s opening batsman Sunil Narine bagged the title of the Most Valuable Player in IPL 2024 with 488 runs and 17 wickets to his name. He won the title on his birthday, which was also the day of IPL 2024 finals.
Narine’s fortunes turned when KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir made him an opening batsman. Narine had suddenly turned into an asset for the team under Gambhir’s mentorship.
“The feeling is overwhelming and I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday gift. I am enjoying my cricket at the moment – batting, bowling and fielding. What helps is when the team is winning.” Said Narine after the match ended.
