It is truly said that the first thing is the first. No one can take his place. There may be many more turns in the journey ahead, some more achievements may be recorded. But, whoever is first, is first. When Kolkata Knight Riders also experienced the same first happiness, they shed tears. After 5 consecutive defeats in IPL 2026, KKR achieved its first win by defeating Rajasthan Royals. When KKR reached the dressing room after defeating RR by 4 wickets at Eden Gardens, the players' emotions were showing no signs of stopping.
The faces of its players were telling how important the victory against Rajasthan Royals was for KKR. This victory was like a balm for the continuous injuries suffered by KKR in IPL 2026. This victory is like a tonic which can perhaps fill new enthusiasm within the team that keeps saying 'Korbo, Ladbo, Jeetbo Re'. This can prove to be a victory that will bring Kolkata Knight Riders back on track, which had derailed at the beginning of the league.
Now when a victory means so much then emotions will definitely come out in the form of tears.
The same thing happened in the dressing room of the Kolkata team at Eden Gardens, which its player Varun Chakraborty has described in his own words. KKR's star spinner said that he saw many people crying. So many people did not cry even when KKR won the IPL 2024 title.Varun Chakraborty, who told about the condition of KKR's dressing room, also played the biggest role in winning against Rajasthan Royals. He did wonders with the ball and took 3 wickets for 14 runs in 4 innings.
For this performance he was chosen Player of the Match.
