Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, the co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) cricket team, flew to Chennai along with his wife Gauri Khan and their children Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam to attend the highly anticipated IPL 2024 final between KKR and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on May 26, 2024.
KKR secured a direct entry into the final by defeating SRH in qualifier one. SRH, on the other hand, earned a second chance at the title by triumphing over Rajasthan Royals in qualifier two.
Emotional Moment for Shah Rukh Khan
Ahead of the final, Shah Rukh Khan recalled the “saddest moment” as KKR’s co-owner when the team kept losing despite having a great squad. He mentioned how a cricket expert once said, “inka costume hi achha hai, inka game play to achhai hai hi nahi” (only their playing kit is nice, not their game), which used to hurt him.
Star-Studded Crowd Expected
The IPL 2024 final is expected to draw a star-studded crowd, including Suhana’s friends Ananya Panday and Shanaya Kapoor, KKR’s co-owners Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta, and American band Imagine Dragons who will perform in the closing ceremony.
Drake’s Bet on KKR
Canadian rapper Drake has also placed his first-ever cricket bet worth $250,000 on Shah Rukh Khan’s KKR, with a potential payout of $425,000 if successful.
As the stage is set for the IPL 2024 final, fans eagerly await the thrilling clash between KKR and SRH, with Shah Rukh Khan and his family cheering on their beloved team.
