Shreyas Iyer recreates Lionel Messi's FIFA World Cup celebration

After the exhilarating journey of more than two months, Kolkata Knight Riders stood tall against all the odds and emerged as the winners of IPL 2024. The Shreyas Iyer-led side registered a thumping eight-wicket win over the mighty Sunrisers Hyderabad, who had a marvelous season with the bat. In the summit clash, KKR comfortably dominated the proceedings as they bundled out SRH for just 113. Later, they chased down the target in just 10.3 overs and clinched their third IPL trophy.

After the win, KKR skipper Iyer received the trophy from the BCCI president Roger Binny and secretary Jay Shah. As he received the trophy, Iyer recreated star footballer Lionel Messi's pose while celebrating with his team.

This same step was done by Messi after he guided Argentina to the FIFA World Cup title in December 2022 in Qatar.
