Looking back at their struggling phase in the first four years, Juhi said, "We had seen the lows, so we could enjoyed the high. Failure was necessary to enjoy the success."
"We had an interesting journey that started with a bang in Bengaluru. KKR went ballistic and we thought we arrived," she said referring to Brendon McCullum's 158 in their inaugural match."
Juhi also planted a sapling with KKR team members inside the Eden Gardens premises and urged the need to shun plastic.
"Last year I realised something about plastic. Islands of floating plastic in oceans. That's the kind of pollution we have created. With this the next generation will face something more serious than atom bomb," she said.
"We want to eliminate plastic. We have made a beginning and will have bigger plans next year. We would like to eliminate that totally to have a more eco-friendly environment.
