Thousand of fans gave a grand reception to newly-crowned IPL champions Kolkata Knight Rider’s players as they celebrate the triumph parade moving towards the Eden Gardens on Tuesday. More than 50,000 people lined up both sides of the road as the players, led by Gautam Gambhir, waved on them on an open bus-top during the 5-km journey. The players were also seen clicking photographs of the frantic scenes in front of them.
Earlier last night, around one thousand harried supporters gathered and danced well past midnight as the players and team owners arrived from Chennai in two batches at the NSC Bose International Airport. Skipper Gautam Gambhir's three Bengali words "ami Kolkatar chhele" (I am son of the city) won the hearts of fans meet to welcome 'home' the Knight Riders who beat two-time defending champions Chennai Super Kings to win their maiden title in five appearances.
"Thank you very much for your support," Gambhir added as the crowd danced to the drum beats when the team members arrived around 10.30pm last night. Venky Mysore, the CEO of the Knight Riders, and coach Trevor Bayliss were among those on the crowded temporary dais just outside the VIP Gate number five. Team owners Shah Rukh Khan, Jay Mehta and Juhi Chawla arrived around 11.45 pm as they were excited at the crowd response late into the night.
