In a groundbreaking move, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), three-time champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL), have taken their legacy beyond the cricket field and into the cosmos. The franchise has officially registered three stars located near the Gemini constellation, each commemorating their IPL victories from 2012, 2014, and most recently, 2024.

Each star symbolizes one element of KKR's iconic slogan: Korbo (Play), Lorbo (Fight), and Jeetbo (Win), marking their championship triumphs on May 27, 2012, June 1, 2014, and May 26, 2024, respectively. Fans and astronomy enthusiasts can view these celestial tributes either through provided coordinates or simply by scanning a QR code on a clear night.

Commenting on this stellar tribute, Binda Dey, Chief Marketing Officer of KKR, shared in an official release:

"All three stars have been picked from around the Gemini constellation, as each championship date falls under the Gemini Zodiac. The third star on top of our crest is a great feeling this year."

The KKR franchise, renowned globally with four teams across different leagues, has expanded their heritage uniquely. This celestial tribute is described by KKR as a "first-of-its-kind" initiative in the sports world.

Further highlighting the significance, Dey added:

"To add to the legacy, KKR has taken its heritage beyond the pitch and into the cosmos—quite literally. By registering these three stars around the Gemini constellation in tribute to our IPL titles, we've created a first-of-its-kind celestial celebration. 'Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo' is now not just our motto—it's written in the stars."

By immortalizing their IPL successes in the sky, the Kolkata Knight Riders have established a lasting homage to their victorious legacy, merging sports and astronomy in an extraordinary celebration.
