#ToofaniFanStories "In a world where everyone wants to be a princess, she chose to be the Knight.” "To be honest KKR taught me to be a rebel. At the age of 11 years old, when everyone in your family is a true Mumbai fan, this girl said no. She decided to follow her favourite person in the world, Mr. ShahRukh Khan. If he owns a team you gotta support it. That was my very first interaction with cricket. The real thrill was whenever KKR played against Mumbai, I mean imagine me at the age of 11 -12 years cheering for KKR, it would always make my friends and family furious but it was always taken on the fun side, as this league was a celebration of the game in itself. And also trust me on this - supporting KKR at Wankhede is a different kind of high! IPL 2014 taught me to have faith. It was one of the hardest times for our Knights as we lost back-to-back matches and GG was not in form at the initial stage. But that comeback was no less than a power-packed action thriller, winning back-to-back matches, qualifying, and lifting the trophy for the second time really proved, “Haar kar bhi jeetne walo ko baazigar khetey hai.” Our journey has always been through ups and downs and this team has fought until the last ball. Growing up watching Ganguly, Brendon McCullum, Gautam Gambhir, Brett Lee, Shakib al Hasan, till the wizard Narine and Dre Russ and also now youngsters like Shubman, Nagarkoti, and Mavi, I still believe this team has what it takes to lift the mighty trophy. I wish the team all the best and hearty congratulations to our new captain Eoin Morgan. Come on guys it has been a long time since we have seen you into the finals! 😉" - Aishwarya Shinde Share your Toofani Story with us at social@kkr.in and get featured on our page! #TuFanNahiToofanHai #KKRHaiTaiyaar #Dream11IPL
