Actor Shah Rukh Khan is ecstatic as his cricket team, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has qualified for the IPL 2024 finals. KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 8 wickets, securing their spot in their fourth IPL final. After the match, SRK was seen celebrating with his kids, Suhana and AbRam, and his manager, Pooja Dadlani, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
In a video shared on social media, SRK is seen kissing AbRam on the forehead while Suhana and Pooja jump with excitement. All four wore KKR jerseys to show their support for the team.
After the match, KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan, his daughter Suhana, and son AbRam greeted fans with a lap around the Narendra Modi Stadium. During their gesture, they inadvertently interrupted JioCinema's live IPL 2024 Hindi broadcast, which was being filmed on the ground.
Shah Rukh quickly apologized to former India cricketers Aakash Chopra, Parthiv Patel, and Suresh Raina, who were conducting the show. He hugged them all, apologized to the viewers, and continued his lap around the venue. Suhana was seen carefully bypassing the cameras while holding her brother's hand.
Recently, KKR star spinner Varun Chakaravarthy praised Shah Rukh Khan for making a 'huge impact' amid the controversy involving team owners and players in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
‘SRK has been present in almost all matches in Kolkata. Even in the match where we didn’t do well, he came to the dressing room and spoke to every player for an hour and hugged everyone,’ Chakaravarthy said.
When asked about SRK’s support off the field for the KKR players, Chakaravarthy said: ‘He said ‘it’s just a match, cricket is changing, just try to be better in the next match’. This time, I see a massive difference because the way he has been very understanding, he’s been very approachable, it has made a huge impact. I also got to meet him for the first time.’
