Shah Rukh quickly apologized to former India cricketers Aakash Chopra, Parthiv Patel, and Suresh Raina, who were hosting the show. He hugged them all and then apologized to the fans watching the broadcast before continuing his lap.
The Kolkata Knight Riders delivered a stunning performance at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, securing a spot in the final after a convincing eight-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The bowlers played a key role in this victory, restricting SRH to just 159 runs before Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer sealed the win with a combined score of 97 runs in 13.4 overs.
In the match in Ahmedabad, SRH chose to bat first and faced a tough start as Mitchell Starc took three wickets with the new ball, resulting in a tie. Despite Travis Head’s dismissal for a duck on the second ball of the match, Rahul Tripathi’s aggressive 35-ball 55 and his 62-run partnership with Heinrich Klaasen helped revive SRH’s innings. However, KKR made a strong comeback, causing a collapse as SRH lost five wickets for just 25 runs in 30 balls. Nevertheless, Pat Cummins played a crucial innings to help SRH reach a score of over 150.

In response, KKR lost their two openers within the first seven overs. However, Venkatesh and captain Shreyas, both two-time fifty champions, successfully chased down 160 runs in just 38 balls.
After the match, KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan, along with his daughter Suhana and son AbRam, welcomed fans for a tour of the Narendra Modi Stadium. In an unintentional gesture to fans, they inadvertently interrupted JioCinema’s live broadcast of the Indian telecast, which was being filmed in the country.

The cameras captured Suhana carefully holding her brother’s hand.
“Oh, what a man! A legend!” Aakash smiled. “He didn’t even realize he was going on a show. He was very apologetic, but I said, ‘You made our day.’ You are an actor.”

The former Indian opener also referred to Shah Rukh as a legend.
The former Indian opener then reminisced about his two-year tenure with KKR from 2008 to 2009. “I spent time with him at KKR. I batted in the 8th and also in the 6th. He supported me well.”
KKR is now waiting for the winners of Qualifier 2, who will face them on May 26 at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. On the other hand, Hyderabad has a chance to make it to the final if they face the winner of the Eliminator in the qualifiers. The 2nd T20 will be held in Chennai on Friday.
