Trinbago Knight Riders ended their five-year wait for a CPL trophy, with captain Nicholas Pooran crediting team belief over tactics for the historic win. It was Pooran’s first title in 12 CPL seasons.

Pooran on TKR’s Belief

After defeating Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final, Pooran said:

“𝑡𝒂𝒉, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 π’•π’‚π’„π’•π’Šπ’„π’”. 𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 π’ƒπ’†π’π’Šπ’†π’‡. π‘»π’†π’‚π’Ž π’ƒπ’†π’π’Šπ’†π’‡. 𝑰’𝒗𝒆 π’˜π’‚π’Šπ’•π’†π’… 15 π’šπ’†π’‚π’“π’” 𝒇𝒐𝒓 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’” π’Žπ’π’Žπ’†π’π’•. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆’𝒔 𝒏𝒐 π’˜π’π’“π’…π’” 𝒕𝒐 π’…π’†π’”π’„π’“π’Šπ’ƒπ’† π’Šπ’•.”

He dedicated the win to the people of Trinidad & Tobago, celebrating a strong week in national sport.

Veterans Step Up

Despite criticism for fielding an older squad, TKR’s senior players delivered. Akeal Hosein, 32, was Player of the Match, while 38-year-old Kieron Pollard claimed Player of the Tournament.

Pooran added:
