Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has won the prestigious trophy of IPL 2024. The team beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by eight wickets on 26th May in Chennai. Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan was disappointed with the match as he believed that SRH was a good team. However, he congratulated the winning team KKR and said they got the most convincing victory. Big B further added that SRH owner Kavya Maran hid her face from the camera as she got emotional after the team lost the match. 

In his blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote “The IPL Final is over and KKR have WON a most convincing victory .. SRH were simply outplayed .. disappointing in many ways becuse SRH is a good team and one has seen their very grand performances over the days when they played other matches .. But what was most touching to observe was the pretty young lady , .. the owner of SRH, in the Stadium, get emotional after the loss and break into tears, turning her face away from the cameras, so as not to display her emotion .. I felt bad for her !! Never mind .. tomorrow is another day .. my dear !!”

He continued, “Indeed .. to quote that famous line from the film 'Gone with the Wind’ when the character of Rhett Butler, played by the great Clark Gable turns away from his lady love Scarlett O’ Hara, played by the inimitable Vivien Leigh, in the climax and leaves saying : “ Frankly .. I couldn’t give a damn ..!! and she responds as he walks away : ’.. i’ll get him back .. after all tomorrow is another day .. ’ YES yes , yes .. to all that fail .. do not give up .. for .. 'tomorrow is another day … My love .. ❤️”

This IPL season, Amitabh Bachchan was supporting Mumbai Indians (MI). He was seen cheering the team from the stands but he was unhappy when the team exited from the playoff.
