XtraTime Web Desk: Team owner Shah Rukh Khan was in all praise after his Caribbean Premier League (CPL) franchise Trinbago Knight Riders successfully won their 12th successive match and clinched their 4th CPL title on Thursday.
The Badshah of Bollywood was on the sky high after Darren Bravo hit the trophy winning boundary as he came up with a lovely tweet for the fans and Knight Riders team members. ‘Come to IPL,” read a part of his tweet.
“Ami TKR we rule. Awesome display boys…u make us proud, happy and make our party even without a crowd. Love u team. @TKRiders @54simmo and my fav @DMBravo46 well done @KieronPollard55 & my man @DJBravo47 love you how many now4!!! @Bazmccullum come to IPL lov u,” SRK’s tweet read.
Lendl Simmons (84*) and Darren Bravo (58*) stitched an unbeaten 138-run stand to help Trinbago Knight Riders chase down 155 for 8 wickets with 1.5 overs to spare. TKR have made history with their win in the final — they have completed the season without having lost a single match. This victory was TKR’s 12th on the trot with the team finishing on top of the league stage with 10 wins from as many games.
Earlier, the Zouks were bowled out for 154 with Pollard bagging 4 wickets for 30 runs from his 4 overs while Fawad Ahmed and Ali Khan picked up a couple each. The Zouks, batting first, got off to a strong start in the Powerplay overs courtesy a 67-run partnership between Andre Fletcher (39) and Mark Deyal (29).
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the CPL 2020 was being played behind closed doors across two venues in Trinidad and Tobago in a bio-secure environment.
