Shah Rukh Khan kisses Gautam Gambhir on the forehead as KKR clinches IPL trophy
Chennai: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) soared to victory for the third time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a stunning performance, accompanied by a touching moment as team co-owner and Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan bestowed a tender kiss on the forehead of the team's mentor, Gautam Gambhir.
In a lopsided final match, Sunrisers Hyderabad faced a crushing defeat as KKR sealed the win with a commanding 8-wicket triumph, with a remarkable 57 balls to spare. Setting a record for the lowest total in an IPL final, SRH was dismissed for a mere 113 runs in just 18.3 overs.
The chase for KKR was largely fueled by Venkatesh Iyer's stellar performance, who blazed his way to 52 runs off just 26 balls. His innings, punctuated by three sixes and four fours sealed the victory for KKR.
Gautam Gambhir, instrumental in KKR's maiden IPL victory in 2012, played a pivotal role behind the scenes this time, guiding the team to triumph after twelve years. The emotional high point came when Shah Rukh Khan, present at the jubilant celebrations, rushed onto the field to express his joy. Khan's heartfelt gesture, captured on camera, as he kissed Gambhir on the forehead and embraced the former captain, quickly went viral on the internet.
KKR's journey to the 2024 title was marked by redemption, having finished sixth in the previous season after losing to Chennai Super Kings in the final match of 2021. However, strategic decisions, including the move to deploy Sunil Narine as an opener under Gambhir's guidance, paid rewards. Narine's stellar performance saw him amass 488 runs from 15 matches, contributing significantly to KKR's triumphant campaign.

Madhu Kishwar booked over misleading content on social media
Chandigarh (PTI): Madhu Kishwar has been booked following a complaint by a Chandigarh resident over the alleged circulation of forged and misleading content on social media.
An FIR has been lodged against Kishwar and some other social media users under relevant sections, including 196 (criminalises acts that promote enmity, hatred, or ill-will between groups based on religion, race, language), 336 (1) (forgery) and 356 (criminal defamation) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the IT Act at Police Station Sector-26 here.
According to an official statement issued by the Chandigarh police on Monday, a city-based complainant on April 19 alleged that some forged and misleading social media posts and video clips with obscene text and content were being circulated by various social media users, misidentifying the person in the video.
Further investigation into the matter is underway.
As per the complainant, it is a deliberate act of creating a false electronic record using obscene words and phrases, having knowledge and sufficient reason to believe that the posts are misleading and false, with the intent to cause damage or injury.
The video, which circulated with the intent to cause harm to the reputation of a constitutional authority and to disturb public peace and tranquility, should be investigated, and appropriate action should be taken, according to the complainant.
As per the complainant, the person seen in the video is a travel vlogger whose wife regularly posts updates about their activities on social media. The original video was shared from her social media account.
"As per the statement of the woman, she disclosed that the person in the video shared from her account is her husband. Statements of her husband and another lady in the video have also been recorded during preliminary investigation," said police in the statement.
Meanwhile, Kishwar, in a social media post, said a team of Chandigarh police had visited her late Monday night to serve her notice regarding the FIR registered against her.
"Since the law forbids the police to visit or arrest women after dark and before sunrise, I spoke on phone to the leader of the delegation. She told me that their team has come to serve notice regarding an FIR registered against me in Chandigarh. I insisted that they go by the law and come in the morning," she wrote on X.
