Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was a happy man on Monday as his team defeated Delhi Capitals to consolidate the second spot in the IPL 2024 points table. After the match, Shah Rukh Khan gave Sourav Ganguly, director of cricket for Delhi Capitals, a pleasant surprise. Former India captain Ganguly is also an ex-KKR skipper. SRK hugged Ganguly from behind and what followed seemed like a very happy meeting of two friends. They had a short conversation.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan praised stylish Indian batsman Virat Kohli and said, “I just love him”. Talking about his relationship with Kohli, Shah Rukh said: “I have spent a lot of time with him, I just love him. We say he is our son-in-law, he is the 'Daamad' of our student society. I knew him the most compared to other players. I have known Virat and Anushka for a long time and have spent a lot of time with them.
“I have known him since his dating days were going on and I was shooting the film with Anushka. So he spent many days with us and became very friendly,” the KKR co-owner told Star Sports.
Shah Rukh has worked with Virat's wife and actress Anushka Sharma in many films like 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. He also attended their wedding in 2017. But it's not just on-screen magic that bonds these two; their off-screen encounters are equally enchanting.
“So I taught him the dance steps of the title song of the Pathan film. I saw him in one of the India matches, he tried to dance with Ravindra Jadeja during the match. They were trying to do that dance step, I thought it was a shame that they did so poorly! I told them that I should make you learn the steps so that at least during the next World Cup and other championships when you dance, you would call me and ask me how to do the steps,” SRK added.
