Kolkata Knight Riders’ IPL Trophy Tour reached Gangtok for the first time on Friday, drawing massive crowds as fans celebrated the team’s third championship triumph.
The trophy was taken to the Rumtek Monastery and the Do Drul Chorten Buddhist temple before being showcased at West Point Mall on MG Road, where supporters got a rare up-close look at KKR’s latest silverware.
The Trophy Tour is covering multiple locations in East India, with Siliguri set to host the next stop on March 2.
The celebrations will culminate in Kolkata on March 16, just days before KKR opens their new season at Eden Gardens against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on March 22.
KKR, one of the most successful IPL franchises, has won three titles (2012, 2014, 2024) and made four final appearances.
Their global presence extends to franchise teams in the Caribbean Premier League, UAE’s ILT20, and Major League Cricket in the US.
