Rapper Drake Places Rs 2 Crore Bet On KKR In IPL 2024 Final

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2024 Final on Sunday, May 26. This high-stakes match has garnered additional attention due to a significant bet placed by world-renowned rapper Drake.

Grammy-winning rapper Drake has placed a USD 250,000 bet on KKR to win the IPL 2024 Final against SRH. This is Drake's first foray into cricket betting, having previously gambled on basketball, American Football, and Rugby. The 37-year-old shared his bet receipt on Instagram, which has added to the excitement surrounding the final match.

The amount of the bet is approximately Rs 2 crore in Indian currency. If KKR wins, Drake stands to receive around Rs 3.73 crore. He expressed his support for KKR by writing, "I am going with KKR for my first ever cricket bet, Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo" on his Instagram Story along with the bet slip.

SRH secured their spot in the final after a 36-run victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Qualifier 2 on May 24. This win has set up a rematch against KKR, who have already defeated SRH twice in this IPL season.
