On this day, eight years ago, Gautam Gambhir-led Kolkata Knight Riders clinched their maiden IPL title with a win over Chennai Super Kings, who were eyeing a hat-trick of titles. While sharing a throwback picture, KKR forgot to tag Manoj Tiwary and Shakib-al-Hasan, who gave the finishing touches, taking KKR over the line.
This has hurt Tiwary, who took to Twitter and responded on the KKR post. His response read, “Yes I, along with others have too many memories, emotions and that will remain forever but after seeing this tweet where u all forgot to mention n tag me and @Sah75official is insulting and this mrng tweet of urs will remain close to every knight Rider’s #disappointed.”

The KKR’s Twitter handle was quick to respond to Manoj Tiwary as they shared a picture that proved that they had tagged the cricketer in the tweet.
No way, Manoj 🙂
We would never miss tagging such a special ‘knight’ to our special night. You were, and always be a hero of that 2012 victory 💜 pic.twitter.com/0D0KgUDeGq
