The Gitanjali Group and Kolkata Knight Riders celebrated their alliance wedding style. There was a stage, pandal, lights, band, baaja and baaraatis. A priest even chanted holy mantras and blessed the golden helmets as symbols of prosperity and luck for both the parties. Shah Rukh Khan, co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) arrived with his team adorned in safas and tikkas. Nishit Mehta, President of Gitanjali Group presented Shah Rukh Khan and the team a golden helmet each as a token of good luck and good will for IPL season 4.

On behalf of the team, I would like to thank our partners for these wonderful golden helmets that symbolise the fire we have, to prove ourselves this year. I hope that their faith in the team will further boost the team’s confidence and help us continue our winning spree at IPL 4”.
