Indian Premier League: Following Kolkata Knight Riders' commanding 80-run triumph over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, April 3rd, the Knights celebrated the much-needed win in style by grooving to the popular Punjabi song, Jazzy B's 'Dil Luteya'.
Vaibhav Arora was named the 'Player of the Match' after his magnificent three-wicket haul in his four-over spell, which helped the Knights to restrict the Sunrisers to 120 in the second inning.
In a video shared on KKR's official social media handle, it can be seen the Kolkata-based franchise's mentor, Dwayne Bravo, and head coach, Chandrakant Pandit grooving to the popular Punjabi song. Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and others also enjoyed the vibes in the KKR dressing room.

Zeeshan Ansari led the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling attack, he picked up one wicket and gave 25 runs in his three-over spell.
