A riveting narrative took centre stage as Kolkata Knight Riders were eyeing to end their decade-long wait for an IPL trophy in the Final on Sunday.
And they did so in a dominant fashion, by beating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets and with 57 balls to spare.

Amid the joyous celebrations, two KKR stalwarts Sunil Narine and Gautam Gambhir were seen elated.
Sunil Narine has been at the franchise for 13 years, and he won his third title with them. Gautam Gambhir led KKR to 2 IPL title wins, and he has won another as a mentor this time.
And after the win, Gautam Gambhir was in high spirits. A video showed him and Sunil Narine lifting each other, celebrating their decade-long wait for the title. It was sheer emotion as the two KKR legends shared a special moment with utter joy and pride. Both Narine and Gambhir are known for their lack of emotion, but they were all in glee after the scintillating victory.
Gambhir has reasons to be proud of Narine's season-long performance. Narine excelled with both bat and ball, fulfilling Gambhir's faith in him. It was Gambhir's decision to put Narine up the order and that paid dividends.
Despite not excelling with the bat in the playoffs, Narine was pivotal with the ball. He ended the season in the top-10 bowling and batting charts, showcasing his all-round abilities.
As the KKR duo lifted each other, the fans couldn't control their emotions. Social media was flooded with the clip as many said it as the Frame of the IPL.
It is indeed a moment to savour and one of the rarest things that one can witness. We are not complaining!
Kolkata Knight Riders will be indebted to Narine and Gambhir, two legends of the franchise.
