IPL 2025: Shah Rukh Khan Rallies Behind KKR, Gratefully Acknowledges Captain Rahane Before They Battle RCB – WATCH | Bollywood Gossip

Guess who’s sprinkling their charm over the cricket field and not just the silver screen? Yep, it’s none other than Bollywood’s own King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan! The man with a million-dollar smile and a heart bigger than the box office, SRK, is back in the cricket mix, cheering on his beloved Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as they face off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2025 opener. 🎬🏏

The superstar, who also happens to own a chunk of KKR, was seen in a video from KKR’s Instagram, where he could have easily doubled as the team’s morale booster-in-chief. He personally greeted each player in the dressing room, spreading positive vibes and hugs like they were going out of style. "Stay healthy, stay happy," he advised, channeling his inner life coach. And a special shoutout to Chandu sir for being the team’s unsung hero! 👏

SRK didn’t just stop at pep talks; he welcomed new faces and even gave Ajinkya Rahane, the captain, a warm welcome. It’s like a scene from a feel-good Bollywood movie, minus a dance number—though I wouldn’t put it past him to break into one!

The excitement wasn’t just confined to the dressing room. Landing in Kolkata, SRK made sure to greet his sea of fans, sending out waves and air kisses like he was on a mission to charm the entire city. Dressed casually in a white T-shirt and jeans, he proved once again that style is an attitude, not an outfit. 😎

The match itself promises to be a thriller, reminiscent of the 2008 IPL opener where KKR’s Brendon McCullum set the stage on fire with 158 runs. Fast forward to 2025, and both teams have switched up their leadership with Ajinkya Rahane and Rajat Patidar helming KKR and RCB, respectively. RCB is keen to shake off a four-match losing streak against KKR, and let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good underdog story? 🎢

Spin, spin, and more spin! KKR’s got the likes of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine, with Moeen Ali and Anukul Roy in tow, ready to twist the game in their favor. While RCB is countering with Krunal Pandya and his squad of spinners, including a familiar face, Suyash Sharma, who once spun for KKR. Talk about plot twists! 🍥

Both teams are packing a punch with their batting line-ups. RCB’s got Virat Kohli, and boy, does he know how to make a cricket ball fly! Meanwhile, KKR is hoping that Quinton de Kock and Ajinkya Rahane will deliver some box office hits of their own. It’s the kind of drama that IPL is famous for! 🎭

Nisha’s Nutshell: In the world of cricket and Bollywood, remember, it’s not just about hitting sixes or box office numbers; it’s about the love, the drama, and the irresistible urge to wave at strangers! 🌟
