IPL Finals is all anyone can talk about. After a thrilling and almost movie-like cricket season, Kolkata Knight Riders are set to fight for the IPL 2024 trophy against Sun Risers Hyderabad today. All eyes will be on KKR as they enter the finals, hoping to recreate their 2014 win. Fans and followers have supported their favorite IPL teams, and in a surprise move, it looks like Grammy-winning rapper Drake is also an IPL fan. The rapper placed his first-ever cricket bet on Shah Rukh Khan’s KKR to win the IPL trophy. And Drake is shelling out the big bucks to ensure his support is loud and clear.
The multiple Grammy Award-winning Canadian rapper Drake is focused on Sunday’s Indian Premier League finals in Chennai. That’s because he’s betting on actor Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to win today’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) with his “first ever cricket bet.”
In an Instagram Stories post on Saturday, Drake showed off a screenshot of him betting on KKR against SRH in today’s IPL finals. The screenshot shows he had a 1.70 chance of winning the wager. The estimated payout on his $250,000 wager is $425,000. “Since @ovorajaju team is out, I am going with KKR for my first ever cricket bet (teary-eyed laughter emoji) Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo,” Drake wrote alongside the screenshot.
