The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) brought their IPL 2024 trophy to Jamshedpur on Friday, February 21, as part of their nationwide tour to celebrate their championship victory. Thousands of fans turned out to P&M Mall in Bistupur to get a glimpse of the coveted trophy and celebrate with their favorite team.
The event began at 4 PM and saw an overwhelming turnout of KKR supporters, who cheered, clicked pictures, and celebrated the team’s third IPL title. The team also engaged with the crowd, distributing special giveaways and souvenirs to lucky attendees.
Jamshedpur was one of the key stops on KKR’s first-ever nationwide Trophy Tour, a unique initiative allowing fans across India to be part of the championship celebrations. The tour began in Guwahati and will continue to several cities, including Ranchi, Gangtok, Siliguri, Patna, Durgapur, and Kolkata.
A Celebration of Cricket and Community
The Trophy Tour is a testament to KKR’s commitment to engaging with fans beyond their home city of Kolkata. The franchise has always been known for its strong fan following, and this initiative is a way to thank supporters for their unwavering loyalty.
“We are very excited to bring the Trophy Tour to our fans in Eastern India,” said Binda Dey, Group CMO of Knight Riders Sports. “Due to some unavoidable reasons, we couldn’t do a victory march in Kolkata after the title win last season. For us, our fans are like family. They have showered KKR with immense love, in good times and bad. This tour is our attempt at bringing back to the fans, the trophy our players had won through their constant love and support last season.”
A Memorable Experience for Fans
The Jamshedpur leg of the Trophy Tour was a resounding success, with fans of all ages coming out to celebrate with their favorite team. The event was filled with excitement and enthusiasm, as fans got to see the IPL trophy up close and take pictures with it.
