Shah Rukh Khan Reveals “Saddest Moment” As KKR Owner Leaves Social Media In Splits – Indian Premier League

Ahead of the IPL 2024 final, Shah Rukh Khan revealed the ‘saddest moment’ of his stint as KKR’s owner.

The Kolkata Knight Riders, arguably the favorites to lift the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 trophy, take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to pursue their 3rd title. Ahead of the mega clash at Chennai’s Ma Chidambaram stadium, Bollywood celebrity Shah Rukh Khan opened up on the ‘saddest’ moment of his life as the owner of the Knight Riders franchise. While there have been seasons where the Kolkata side has finished among the bottom teams in the T20 league, what has pinched SRK the most is that his team’s costume was questioned during the early days.

In an interview with Star Sports, the broadcaster of IPL 2024, Shah Rukh Khan called his team the ‘nicest in the world’ while also opening up on specific moments that made him ‘sad’ as an owner.

“Having the nicest set of team in the world and we kept on losing only again and again,” SRK said.

“I still remember, which was the saddest moment, kisi ne mujhe aise bola ‘inka costume hi achha hai, inka game play to achhai hai hi nahi’ (someday said to me ‘only their playing kit is nice, not their game’). I remember some expert talking this. It used to hurt. To come back with GG (Gautam Gambhir) and do this was outstanding. It taught us how to lose but never be losers and never give up hope. Sports teaches you that,” Shah Rukh added.

KKR had already beaten SRH in the IPL Qualifier 1, and a victory in the contest took the team to the final. The Sunriers then defeated the Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 to book a second date with Kolkata in the title decider.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batter Rahul Tripathi said it was tough because he had to wait for his opportunity in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. In the final match of the IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. Rahul played five matches for the Sunrisers in the IPL 2024, scoring 156 runs at a strike rate of 152.94. He hammered 17 fours and 6 sixes in the ongoing season.

Speaking to JioCinema, Rahul said he always considered how he would help his side even when he was benched. The 33-year-old added that his main motive was to contribute to the team whenever he got the opportunity.

“I had to wait for my opportunity, it was tough. Even when I wasn’t playing, I was thinking about how I would help the team when the opportunity came my way and how I could put my best foot forward. That thinking helped me. My preparation was to contribute positively whenever I got an opportunity,” Rahul said.

The Kolkata-based franchise ended the league stage on top of the standings with nine wins, three losses, and two no results, giving them 20 points. They earned a direct spot in the final after beating SRH in qualifier one. On the other hand, Pat Cummins’ SRH got a second chance at the title in qualifier two against Rajasthan Royals (RR), and they made the most of it by defeating the Men in Pink by 36 runs.
