It’s been a roller coaster ride for me for the past 7 years with @KKRiders I’ve loved every single bit of it. In those seven years I never lost as a player. I’v learned and I’ve grown in ways I’ve never imagined.

KKR opening bowlers created chaos with pace and swing, SRH top order were under siege, didn’t adapt, wanted to continue there aggressive approach. Sometimes in life you have to changed direction to meet the situation. Congratulations to @KKRiders #IPL2O24Final
