Umar Akmal Misspells KKR, Gets Trolled: This is not the first time fans have targetted Umar Akmal for his wrong English.

Umar Akmal Misspells KKR, Gets Trolled: Umar Akmal, the Pakistani cricket star, may have had noble intentions when he took to social media to share a congratulatory post for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 win. However, he was on the receiving end of social media trolling for a spelling mistake.

While referring to the Shreyas Iyer-led KKR who beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2024 final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (May 26), Akmal wrote KKL. "Congratulations to #kkl  on winning #ipl third trophy @KKRiders @IPL‘s @GautamGambhir @ShreyasIyer15," he posted on X.

KKR Beat SRH In One-Sided IPL 2024 Final

As far as KKR are concerned, the team had a memorable night with them dominating the match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). While they first restricted SRH to lowest ever total in an IPL final at 113, before chasing down the target in 10.3 overs to claim their third title.

Mitchell Starc was adjudged the Player Of the Match for his spell with the new ball (2/14) which laid the foundation of a KKR win. The left-arm speedster produced arguably the ball of the tournament to dismiss Hyderabad's Abhishek Sharma in the first over of the titular contest.
