Superstar Shah Rukh Khan arrived in Kolkata on Friday evening to attend the IPL 2025 opening ceremony at Eden Gardens and showed some love to the KKR team, who was dressed casually in a white T-shirt and jeans, as he acknowledged them with waves and flying kisses.
KKR's official Instagram account shared a video of the team co-owner's visit, showing him greeting each team member. The post was captioned, "King Khan ka pyaar, Knights ke naam, Shahrukh Khan | #AmiKKR | #TATAIPL2025 | #KKRvRCB."
He hugged them warmly and said, "God bless you. Please be healthy, be happy. And thank you, Chandu sir, for looking after them. Welcome aboard to the new members. Thank you, Ajinkya, for joining us and being a captain. God bless you, and I hope you will find a good home here and play well with all of us. Have a good evening, a good match, and be healthy."
The KKR-RCB matchup is important because it reminds fans of the first IPL game in 2008, where Brendon McCullum scored 158 runs for KKR against RCB. In the 2025 season, both teams have new captains: Ajinkya Rahane for KKR and Rajat Patidar for RCB. RCB is especially eager to break their losing streak of four matches against KKR.
