Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders and a Bollywood icon, gave a moving speech in the team’s locker room after his team won the 2024 Indian Premier League. In the final, KKR outperformed Sunrisers Hyderabad with a spectacular display to win their third IPL crown. SRK went back on the field to support his team during the summit match with his family despite having recently been admitted to the hospital due to a heat stroke. SRK was seen thanking the KKR players and staff in a video that the team shared on social media, and he also shared his good wishes for the IPL auction.

“I just want to express my gratitude to Gautam Gambhir in particular. I haven’t given him any extra gratitude. We had talked about two things when we first started, so perhaps we might get him to dance. Sunil (Narine) has already gone beyond that line. He was dancing, I saw. In the now-viral video, Shah Rukh Khan stated, “GG [Gautam Gambhir] has to dance tonight.
I want to thank each and every one of you. You all look so beautiful. God be with you. Simply maintain your health. And I hope the best for you going forward, wherever that may lead us. Furthermore, you should know that I speak for Jay, Juhi, Jahnavi, Suhana, Pooja, and all of us who adore you and find you to be so emotionally touching. We also wish that this team would exist forever. You persisted in playing this way and listened to my speeches.”
The SRH hitters did not live up to expectations as they were bowled out for just 113 runs before the game. Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana each claimed two wickets, while Andre Russell claimed three. Venkatesh Iyer and Rahmanullah Gurbaz led the squad to a comfortable victory in response.
