Riya Srivastav

Not the best end to the season but so far from the worst too! Thank you for a beautiful comeback, so proud of every single person (almost) who played in purple and gold this season, and especially so proud of the man who played with broken fingers and a broken toe. 
          
          For god's sake KKR Impact sub out poor VC now that it's a dead rubber :)
          
          PS: You could offer me all the biggest best IPL stars in history and I would still pick Varun Chakaravarthy over EVERY one of them. The love and dedication he has shown to our team this season is everything you can ask for.
          
          PS2: Never collide with a rock, Angky, kiddo.

Manish Pandey represents a lot of things to me, some of them sad, all of them beautiful. 
          Miracles, because he single handedly led us to chase 200 in an IPL final
          Constancy, because he was one of KKR's most important players most of my childhood
          Heartbreak, because he was the first auction loss I mourned
          Trust, because he always played badly against KKR and well in the matches where SRH's victories would've benefited KKR :)
          Fairytales, because Manish Pandey came back home in 2024, won us an impossible match against MI as Impact player, then lifted another trophy with us and cried, saying "Ten years later, here we are"
          
          And home, because KKR doesn't have big stars of ICT with huge warring fanbases as their constants but KKR does have a whole bunch of quiet, under-the-radar people who call purple-and-gold their home, like a WC winner who people love to hate, two Caribbean boys, a man who plays match after match with a fractured toe, a small town boy from Aligarh, and yes, that bunch includes Manish Pandey too, and forever will.

today's match tension is lowkey killing me:)

Would you rather never have loved someone of your team so frighteningly much than bear this incredibly debilitating heartache now that they're gone ft Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana
          
          Asking for a friend

Just dropping by to say that just because your team is coming last and playing a sport that doesn't seem cricket at all (batting wise tbh not bowling) doesn't mean you step away from watching every match and hoping till the end. 
          
          Never really faced a true hopeless season of KKR's in my life, since they stay always alive till the last two weeks, which is why I kiss my wall and door KKR logos MORE frequently now than I do in other, better seasons.
          
          Rinku, Narine, VC, Ankgy, love you all my boys ❤️ And my purple team, I will of course stand by you till my last breath

Just passed Chinnaswamy for the first time since the auction. I don't think I've ever passed Chinnaswamy and not smiled. Personally, it's an incredibly special stadium to me. Rohit scored his first 200 here. KKR won its second title here. I saw the craziest WC match against Netherlands here and a double super-over against Afghanistan too.
          
          Now that this is Venky's "home" ground, though, I guess that takes centre stage above all the good memories and I will avert my eyes from the floodlights every time I pass it :)
          
          It does not help, of course, that in the only away IPL match I've ever watched, here in Chinnaswamy, in our brilliant season of 2024, KKR won on a canter and the highest scorer was Venky :))

@Abhii_dipu Yess. He has so much room to grow, because the raw talent and winning-temperament is already present. These people have the potential to grow to great heights if they can get some things right..  I hope someone grounds him and gives him the scoldings he needs because he leaks runs and all that too (he has his father so)

Today's loss was gut wrenching in a way bilateral white ball losses haven't felt in a very long time to me. It's weird to say "it wasn't an important match" and still feel like it was important, so important somehow. Maybe because it felt like the old days... God Kohli anchoring an impossible chase. How does God fall short?
          
          But the number of people saying "sorry" in Harshit's comments suddenly made me smile.
          
          Everything that kid does is personal to me. 
          
          The hate he has received went way beyond what he deserved and Rahane saying he sometimes gets affected by it made it worse. His aggression on the field was extrapolated into unforgivable arrogance. People who took the trouble of getting to know what kind of person he is knew though, he's mostly a father's son and then a Nitish bhaiya and Shreyas bhaiya worshipper and then a Virat bhaiya and Rohit bhaiya worshipper and he doesn't have an arrogant, demeaning bone in his body off-field.
          
          Everything, everything about Harshit is personal. I would bubble-wrap him and protect him if I could, but he doesn't need it. He can make his own statements, my star kid, with his pace variations of 140 to 110 to 140 and his breakthroughs...and his warrior-like batting.
          
          And I am just so happy, just so proud...almost an Indian mother seeing her son getting what he deserves. Love you to the stars and back, Harshu ❤️

I think I would trust KLR with my life the same way I would with Jad

Hey
          Really random
          But I need to ask you something 
          How did you recover from "The kite runner" 
          Coz I finished reading it in 2 days
          But I have my exams going on
          But I can't focus at all :(
