Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have etched their legacy beyond the cricket field and into the night sky. To honor their three IPL championship victories (2012, 2014, and 2024), the franchise has registered three stars in the Gemini constellation. The announcement was made on Sunday, making KKR the first IPL team to celebrate its triumphs in such a celestial manner.
With this tribute, the three-time champions have symbolically cemented their motto—”Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo” (Play, Fight, Win)—among the stars. The stars have been officially named “Korbo” (for their 2012 title), “Lorbo” (for 2014), and “Jeetbo” (for 2024), corresponding to the dates of their respective IPL victories—May 27, 2012, June 1, 2014, and May 26, 2024. Since all these dates fall under the Gemini Zodiac, the stars have been selected from the Gemini constellation.
A Legacy Written in the Stars
KKR’s Chief Marketing Officer, Binda Dey, expressed the franchise’s excitement over this unique tribute. “The third star on top of our crest is a great feeling this year,” she said. “To add to the legacy, KKR has taken its heritage beyond the pitch and into the cosmos—quite literally. We’ve created a first-of-its-kind celestial celebration by registering these three stars around the Gemini constellation in tribute to our IPL titles. ‘Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo’ is now not just our motto—it’s written in the stars.”
Fans can view the stars on a clear night using their coordinates or by scanning a QR code shared by KKR. This initiative not only immortalizes the team’s journey but also serves as an inspiration for future IPL seasons.
