The IPL team KKR is co-owned by Shah Rukh Khan. Suresh Raina posted, “It was wonderful meeting @iamsrk today, who always remains humble,” along with some images from the event. He maintains his demeanor and displays humility in every encounter, even as a household name. KKR, congratulations on reaching the finals! Shah Rukh Khan #KKR @am.darzi (sic).”

The mood of the team is altered by Shah Rukh’s presence, as KKR captain Shreyas Iyer has stated. “His presence adds excitement to the team’s environment,” Iyer stated. The mindset and methodology of the team shift on their own.”

Shah Rukh Khan is currently working on his upcoming movie, “King,” which is reportedly titled. Suhana Khan may appear in this movie as well, however the producers have not yet made an official statement. Following KKR’s eight-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1, the Indian Premier League’s official account posted a video in which Shah Rukh embraced all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer and captain Shreyas Iyer, thanked the crowd in his trademark pose, circled the field, and praised his co-owner as an inspiration.

The first side to guarantee their place in the IPL 2024 finals was KKR, which defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets in Qualifier 1 in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Following the game, the Indian Premier League’s official account posted a video of Shah Rukh Khan walking laps around the field, hugging KKR captain Shreyas Iyer and all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer, who lauded their co-owner as an inspiration, and thanking fans with his trademark pose.

According to Venkatesh Iyer, “It speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. He has always had an aura on film that mesmerizes people, but to us, he was more than simply a franchise owner—rather, he was like an older brother. He led us continuously.”

“His mere presence adds excitement to the team’s atmosphere, and the attitude and approach change automatically,” Shreyas Iyer went on to say. “I believe it’s a mindset,” he said, gesturing to his head. “You see, when the guys got on the field, they were all eager to contribute and finished their tasks on time.”

“I think his animated conversations uplifted not just me but people like Nitish Rana, who was struggling with injuries,” stated Venkatesh Iyer. Recovering from an injury and functioning well is a major undertaking. He’s a fantastic franchise owner, and I believe he’s here even though he can’t hear me.”

With six overs left, Shreyas Iyer (58) and Venkatesh Iyer (51) combined for an undefeated 97 runs for the third wicket, sending KKR to victory. KKR is about to play in their fourth IPL final in history. Since 2018, the team that wins Qualifier 1 has gone on to win the IPL trophy every time.
