Shah Rukh Khan’s heartwarming gestures, from embracing Jos Buttler for his outstanding performance to consoling his own dejected KKR players after their loss, have captured the admiration of millions.
In a thrilling match at Eden Gardens, the Kolkata Knight Riders suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Rajasthan Royals by 2 wickets. Despite Sunil Narine’s remarkable century and Rinku Singh’s quick contribution, KKR posted 223 for 6. However, Jos Buttler’s phenomenal century led the Royals to the highest successful run-chase in IPL history.
While Rajasthan celebrated their victory, KKR faced disappointment. Co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was seen consoling the disheartened players, his supportive gestures captured in a viral video shared on social media. Later, Khan was also spotted embracing Jos Buttler, acknowledging his outstanding innings.
SRK meeting all the players even after being heartbroken after KKR’s loss. Isko bolte hai Jigra hona. Hawa se patte hilte hai Shah Rukh Khan nahi. What a man. So strong. So courageous. What an inspiration.
