Sachin Tendulkar's tweet

How consistent KKR has been. Their batsmen started their campaign with a bang, but it was the bowlers who carried the show in the latter stages of the tournament. Their bowlers performed well in the final round. Took wickets and made the run chase easy. Congratulations to all the players and coaching staff for winning the third trophy for your franchise. Sachin Tendulkar tagged Gautam Gambhir and Shah Rukh Khan in his tweet.

The Hyderabad team also performed brilliantly, but the team that performed amazingly today was the winner. A special shootout for Gautham Gambhir as Shah Rukh Khan, who has been leading the way without any fear and ruling the hearts of all, won both cinema and cricket today.

Special credit goes to Shreyas Iyer, who captained brilliantly. Not only the captaincy, but the fielding and his intentions were all successful. It was good to see first Nehraji and now Gautam Gambhir becoming a mentor and helping the team win the title. Weldon Team
