Cricket lovers are gearing up for the big IPL final tonight in Chennai between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). We spoke to some celebs to find out who they are supporting tonight.
Simple Kaul
The IPL fever is on in Mumbai big time and there’s so much excitement. I am rooting for SRH this year and I am sure it is going to be an exciting match. I will be watching the match at my restaurant, which will be fun.
Addinath Kothare
I am excited to watch the match with my daughter.I am rooting for SRH. Yes, KKR is currently more popular and likely to win, too. Everyone’s bet would be on them. However, Hyderabad is the underdog and I have a soft spot for underdogs. Even my movie 83 was all about the underdogs – the Indian cricket team winning the 1983 World Cup.
Nikki Tamboli
I love watching cricket and it is an emotion. This year I went thrice to watch matches in the stadium, but I will watch the final at home with my friends. I am rooting for KKR. I feel that their team has been consistent and strong since the beginning. They should win the finals.
Akshay Oberoi
I am rooting for KKR because Gautam Gambhir has been a fab mentor, and I am his big fan. I am so glad they made it this far. I have been following this season of IPL. So, it is going to be an exciting finale for me. I am planning to watch it with my friends. In fact, we have been watching the entire season together.
Arjun Bijlani
I am an avid cricket watcher and am rooting for KKR this year, as their performance has been very good. I plan to watch it at a friend’s house if I’m not shooting for my TV show. Else, I will watch it on my phone on the set. I can’t wait to see who wins the trophy.
Shefali Jariwala
I am super excited about the IPL final, and I won’t miss it for sure. Since the time this IPL tournament began, everyone in my house has been talking about matches. My father and husband Parag (Tyagi) are huge IPL buffs. I am rooting for KKR this year, but I feel it is going to be a tough competition.
Tanuj Virwani
My favourite team was CSK, but since they were out of the tournament, I am now supporting KKR. They have been the best team this season. They have all their bases covered – be it batting, bowling or fielding. They have a good blend of Indian and foreign players. But it will be an interesting game if Hyderabad scores above 200. It is going to be a cricket carnival at my farmhouse in Lonavala with my entire family and friends watching the match together.
Elnaaz Norouzi
I am supporting KKR because they have been playing really well. They have been consistent with every match. Also, because my friend is the captain. I hope they win. I will be at work, but I won’t miss the game.
Madirakshi Mundle
I like watching cricket and have been following the IPL this year. I want SRH to win tonight. The team has a lot of potential. I plan to watch the final with my husband over plenty of healthy snacks.
