IPL Final 2024: Amitabh Bachchan writes blog for Kavya Maran post-SRH's defeat, ‘Tomorrow is another day my dear’

Kavya Maran and Amitabh Bachchan

Yesterday, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad and clinched the IPL 2024 trophy. After the match, while everyone was celebrating KKR's victory, Amitabh Bachchan noticed the disappointment on the face of SRH's owner, Kavya Maran. Later, Big B wrote a blog to console the young lady.

In a long blog post, Big B wrote, "The IPL Final is over and KKR have WON a most convincing victory... SRH were simply outplayed... disappointing in many ways because SRH is a good team and one has seen their very grand performances over the days when they played other matches."

Later, while talking about Kavya, Mr. Bachchan wrote, "But what was most touching to observe was the pretty young lady, the owner of SRH, in the Stadium, get emotional after the loss and break into tears, turning her face away from the cameras so as not to display her emotion... I felt bad for her!! Never mind... tomorrow is another day... my dear!!"

"Indeed... to quote that famous line from the film 'Gone with the Wind' when the character of Rhett Butler, played by the great Clark Gable, turns away from his lady love Scarlett O'Hara, played by the inimitable Vivien Leigh, in the climax and leaves saying: ‘Frankly... I couldn't give a damn...!!' and she responds as he walks away: ‘... I'll get him back... after all, tomorrow is another day...' YES, yes, yes... to all that fail... do not give up... for... 'tomorrow is another day... My love...!" he further added.

About the Match

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat in the final of the Indian Premier League 2024 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

KKR clinched the IPL 2024 title with a dominating all-round performance against SRH in the final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. At the same ground in 2012, KKR had clinched their maiden title, and on May 26, 2024, they scripted an encore to lift their third trophy. The KKR bowlers did extremely well to restrict the dangerous SRH batting line-up to 113, which was chased down in only 10.3 overs with eight wickets in hand.
