Kolkata Knight Riders owner, Shah Rukh Khan, was seen on the edge of his seat numerous times as the Knights aim to bounce back to winning ways in IPL 2024 against Lucknow Super Giants in style. The blockbuster KKR vs LSG game is being played at the Eden Gardens.
Known for his ever-positive support during KKR matches, SRK’s enthusiasm was at its top as he watched the highly-contested clash alongside his children and Ananya Panday. His excitement peaked when KKR’s Phil Salt smashed a towering six off a blistering delivery from Shamar Joseph, propelling the team’s pursuit of a challenging 162-run target. SRK couldn’t contain his joy, leaping from his seat with each boundary.

SRK left jumping off his seat with Mitchell Starc’s performance in KKR vs LSG:
Earlier in the match, SRK was equally excited when Ramandeep Singh’s stunning diving catch dismissed Deepak Hooda from the crease. Mitchell Starc, KKR’s marquee signing, showcased his bowling prowess with a remarkable performance. Despite a shaky start, Starc rallied to claim three crucial wickets for just 28 runs in his four overs, earning accolades from SRK for his match-winning contribution.
Starc’s resurgence was particularly gratifying for SRK, considering the Australian pacer’s earlier struggles in the tournament with only two wickets in four games. The Australian pacer was costly in his opening over but recovered impressively to record his finest performance in KKR colours. Starc ended with 3 for 28 in four overs, restricting Lucknow to 161 runs.
