After guiding Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL title on Sunday, captain Shreyas Iyer said his side "played like invincibles" the whole season.
"Absolutely comprehensive (the win). We played like invincibles throughout the season. There's so much to cherish right now. This is what we demanded from the team and every individual," Shreyas said during the post-match presentation.
The Knight Riders dominated SRH in the IPL final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, showcasing a flawless performance that was the culmination of their season-long excellence.
