‘Isliye SRK ko King bulaati hai duniya’ – Fans react to heartwarming gesture by Shahrukh Khan towards disabled KKR fan post RCB game
At Eden Gardens, the host team dominated the evening to earn their first victory of IPL 2023. On Thursday night, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 81 runs in the presence of a packed stadium.KKR was in deep trouble at 89/5 in 11.3 overs during the inaugural home match of the IPL 2023 at a jam-packed Eden Gardens. The duo of David Willey and Karn Sharma had taken two Royal Challengers Bangalore wickets in as many balls, which had many people worried that KKR would suffer a humiliating loss.
However, Shardul Thakur, who almost was out on his first ball—also the hat-trick ball—when the inside edge went beyond leg-stump, smacked the joint-fastest half-century of the year in 20 balls while putting on an incredible performance of 68 off 28 deliveries. This amazing turn of events provided the foundation for Kolkata to beat Bangalore by 81 runs and secure their first victory of the competition.
In addition to sharing a significant 103-run standoff only 47 balls alongside Thakur to help KKR reach a massive 204/7, Rinku Singh contributed with a crucial 46. Rahmanullah Gurbaz shone early on with a stroke-filled 57, and he also contributed with a brilliant start.Varun Chakaravarthy (4/15), Sunil Narine (2/16), and the newcomer Suyash Sharma (3/30), three mystery spinners from Kolkata, claimed nine wickets between them to bowl out the RCB batsmen for 123 runs in 17.4 overs.
How did Shahrukh Khan win the hearts and minds of fans again?
The glamour factor was undoubtedly increased by Shah Rukh Khan, his daughter, and Juhi Chawla’s attendance. After the game, though, something happened that once again demonstrated how SRK is the king. The actor of “Chak De India” reconnected with Harshul, a supporter of KKR with special needs, after a five-year absence. The franchise distributed the meeting’s video. It featured a video collage of their encounter from last night and in 2018. It was indeed a beautiful gesture by the KKR owner towards the fan.
