SRK hugs and kisses Sourav Ganguly: In a heartwarming moment for cricket enthusiasts, Shah Rukh Khan, co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), shared a nostalgic reunion with former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Monday, April 29. Ganguly, a revered figure in Indian cricket, had previously led KKR as its star player and inaugural captain during the maiden edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008.
The emotional rendezvous took place at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, where KKR clashed with Delhi Capitals (DC) in a high-stakes encounter, marked as match number 47 of the ongoing IPL season. Despite Ganguly’s current role as the director of cricket for Delhi Capitals, the bond between him and Shah Rukh Khan transcended team affiliations.
Following Kolkata Knight Riders’ commanding seven-wicket triumph over Delhi Capitals, Shah Rukh Khan openly displayed his affection for Ganguly, embracing him with hugs and showering him with kisses. The gesture not only symbolized their enduring friendship but also highlighted the camaraderie between players, owners, and administrators in the world of cricket.
KKR’s victory propelled them to the second position on the IPL 2024 points table, boasting six wins from nine matches and a commendable net run rate of 1.096. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals, despite a valiant effort, find themselves in the sixth spot with five victories out of their first 11 fixtures and a net run rate of -0.442.
As the IPL season progresses, moments like these serve as reminders of the deep-rooted connections and memories that cricket continues to forge, transcending the boundaries of teams and rivalries. Shah Rukh Khan and Sourav Ganguly’s reunion not only delighted fans but also added a touch of nostalgia to the ongoing cricketing spectacle.
