Shah Rukh Khan takes the chopper to Eden Gardens to cheer for KKR’s last game

Kolkata Knight Riders will be cheered by franchise owner, Shah Rukh Khan, during their last IPL game match in the league stages at the Eden Gardens against Mumbai Indians on May 13.

Khan has attended only one game this season and that was KKR’s first of the season, away to Gujarat Lions.


As SRK took a chopper from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Airport he shared a mid-air selfie, captioning it, “Heat, helicopter and headphones.”

A day of heat…headphones and helicopters..

“He came for the opening game in Rajkot. We had a really good result in that match. Hopefully, he will bring that luck in the last game as well,” said Venky Mysore, the team CEO, at a promotional golf event organised by KKR on Thursday.

Mysore himself has been rare to Kolkata games and he said that he understands the pressure Shah Rukh has.

“I know the pressure he’s going through. He has just completed the schedule of a big banner film and has started another one. He went to Canada for a TED Conference and then was honoured at the San Francisco Film Festival. He was a special invitee. I don’t know how he does it. But he keeps up with all our games, you can see it from his tweets,” said Mysore.

They are yet to qualify for the play-offs but Kolkata Knight Riders are not far from qualifying as well. With 16 points from 13 points, Kolkata are almost there but a win in the final game against Mumbai Indians on May 13 at the Eden Gardens will confirm their progress.
