Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, along with his children Suhana Khan and AbRam, graced the Eden Gardens in Kolkata for the IPL 2024 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Sunday. The appearance of the Khan family, accompanied by actress Ananya Pandey, added a touch of glamour to the high-octane encounter.
SRK, who is also the owner of the KKR franchise, has been a regular presence at the team’s matches this season. The presence of his young son, AbRam, further amplified the excitement among fans. Videos of the celebrities arriving in Kolkata for the match went viral on social media, with fans expressing their delight at seeing the father-son duo cheering for KKR.
KKR, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, had made a strong start to the season, winning their first four matches. However, their winning streak was snapped by Chennai Super Kings in their previous outing. In the match against LSG, Iyer opted to field after winning the toss.
KKR has been heavily reliant on their veteran all-rounders, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, this season. The fast bowlers have also played a crucial role in the team’s success. The franchise will be hoping to bounce back from their defeat against CSK and maintain their unbeaten record at Eden Gardens.
The LSG team, led by KL Rahul, boasts a formidable lineup of its own. Quinton de Kock, Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, and Nicholas Pooran are among the key players to watch out for. The team will be aiming to continue their winning ways and challenge KKR for the top spot in the standings.
The match promises to be a thrilling contest between two evenly matched teams. The presence of Shah Rukh Khan and his family is sure to add to the atmosphere and make it a memorable occasion for fans of both KKR and LSG.
