The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are IPL champions once again. Their decade-long title drought has come to an end. Their mentor, Gautam Gambhir, and captain, Shreyas Iyer, will be the ones who’ll be celebrated the most. But it might be that Rahmatullah Gurbaz’s mother helped the franchise win the IPL 2024 title.
