“This time on the Hooghly we are going to dance, we will create issues on the roads in Calcutta. Mamatadi, we are coming back like we promised. We are the champions,” he said.
“The party starts from here. We will move to Mumbai and then to Calcutta… It's going to be a long affair. My son is in London, my wife and daughter are in Paris and the little one is in Delhi. So I will have to celebrate the win everywhere!”
The celebration for KKR went till the wee hours this morning at their Bangalore team hotel with team co-owner Shah Rukh leading the party.
“Tonight I will teach u how to dancer boy,” Shah Rukh said in reply to KKR player Kuldeep Yadav in an early morning tweet on his official Twitter handle.
“Either the cup is too big or my nose is. Either way the victory of my KKR boys is the biggest still. Love u. Get ready Kolkata we rule!!!!”
Quoting Serbian poet and philosopher Dejan Stojanovic, Shah Rukh tweeted: “'Knighthood lies above eternity; it doesn't live off fame, but rather deeds.' My Knights are most beautiful.”
Shah Rukh also thanked physiotherapist Andrew Leipus and trainer Adrian Leroux for their contribution.
Last night, Shah Rukh had dedicated the victory to his little son AbRam the newest member to his family.
“But I'm sorry this time I can't dedicate this win to the City of Joy… This one is for my little baby AbRam. But I am happy to bring the trophy back to Calcutta,” said Shah Rukh.
“I am really happy and proud of the team. My children are happy. I would like to dedicate this victory to my little baby AbRam, who has just got his KKR T-shirt! The win is as much of Gautam and the team.”
“Everyone in KKR… be it Gautam or Manish, who won us the game today… We have a team that believes in itself. We are not flashy, we don't have big names, we are a bunch who just goes out and does its job. KKR is just like me.
“Perhaps, I am a bit flashy because I have been working for too long and I can do somersaults. But yes, KKR is like me… cool,” he said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
