Prior to this, it was KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik who met this fan. The video of the brief meet went viral. He also clicked a selfie with a few fans at the Eden Gardens and thanked his fans by posting the same on social media. He captioned the snap, "A team is nothing without its fans! A big thank you to all the fan🙏 #gratitude #indebted #korbolorbojeetbo#kkrhaitaiyaar."

Talking about the match yesterday, Kuldeep Yadav walked away with the Man of the Match Award. After the match, Dinesh Karthik said, “They started off brilliantly but it shows our character. When we got a chance in the game, we didn't let go. We have team bonding sessions, keep our smiles, keeping going on in the tournament. He's an international quality player, he's one of the best left-arm chinaman bowlers right now. And all I have to do is make sure he is turned on. Sometimes he slacks off, bowls a bad ball trying too much so I'm just trying to make him do as well as he can and stay consistent. [Qualification is in your hands] You're scaring me." Team KKR will play against the Sunrisers Hyderabad On Saturday.
