The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), led by Shreyas Iyer, clinched a comprehensive eight-wicket win over SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2024 final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, May 26. This victory marked KKR’s third IPL championship, a remarkable achievement for the franchise.

Shortly after KKR’s triumphant win, an old Facebook post by Shreyas Iyer from 2015 resurfaced and went viral on social media. In the post, Iyer candidly expressed his desire to complete his B. Com degree, lamenting that his busy cricket schedule left him little time for studies. He wrote:

“I want to complete my B. Com. To be honest, I haven’t had time to look at my books and my exams are around the corner.”

With this win, Shreyas Iyer joined an elite group of Indian captains who have lifted the IPL trophy, including MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, and Hardik Pandya.

“We’ve Worked Tirelessly for This Moment” – Shreyas Iyer on KKR’s IPL 2024 Victory

In the final, SRH struggled immensely, posting the lowest-ever total in an IPL final by being bowled out for just 113 runs. Andre Russell shone with the ball, taking three wickets, while Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana picked up two wickets each.

KKR chased down the modest target with ease, reaching it in just 10.3 overs. Venkatesh Iyer remained unbeaten on 52, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz contributed a solid 39 runs to seal the victory.

Following the win, Shreyas Iyer expressed his gratitude and joy on social media. He thanked the KKR family, including the owners, team management, players, and fans, highlighting the team’s dedication and hard work. Iyer shared:

“To my entire KKR family, we’ve worked tirelessly for this moment. We’ve played for each other, we’ve sacrificed so much for each other, and it’s to get our hands on this prized trophy. To the owners, management, coaching staff, my teammates and the fans, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. IPL Champions 2024.”

Shreyas Iyer had a commendable season with the bat, finishing with 351 runs in 14 innings at an average of 39.00 and a strike rate of 146.86.

As the cricketing world celebrates KKR’s victory, Shreyas Iyer’s old post serves as a charming reminder of the personal aspirations and challenges faced by athletes off the field.
