Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan had tasted success in the IPL twice with Kolkata Knight Riders, a team he co-owns. This year, the owners of KKR bought a stake in Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel, and he was delighted with the fact that he had a trophy for each of his kids.
Please somebody post me the picture of the Cup!!! Three babies...I was one short...phew!! Now I have a cup for each one of them!

Khan was surely present in spirit.
There's no place i'd rather be than dancing with T&T. True and unbridled happiness. The trophy is beautiful. pic.twitter.com/tCiNeoHeIw

For those who find Trinidad & Tobago too long and T&T too short, Jacques Kallis had the perfect solution.
Awesome end to a great 6 weeks. Thank you Trinbago and @CPL #memories pic.twitter.com/XfHKnQ4YtZ

Kamran may be out of the Pakistan team, but he found support from some of his old team-mates. Shoaib Malik, who played for Barbados Tridents before being called up for national duty, was one of them.
Congrats to @TTRedSteel for winning #CPL15 & some fabulous cricket & @KamiAkmal23 for the great batting #BiggestPartyInSport@iamsrk

It was some post-match party, and Bravo led from the front.
Whatever you might think about the CPL in terms of the quality of play, no one will ever beat the CPL in terms of post-final celebrations.
