Renowned Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s fervor for cricket is no secret, particularly evident during the ongoing IPL season where he passionately supports his team, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Amidst cheering for KKR from the stands and engaging with players, Shah Rukh took a delightful break from his routine on Sunday. He graced KKR’s training session at Eden Gardens ahead of their match against Delhi Capitals (DC), bringing along his son AbRam to witness the team’s preparations firsthand. Adding a touch of fun to the practice session, Shah Rukh embraced his cricketing side, seen showcasing his batting skills in videos shared by KKR’s social media team and SRK’s fan club SRK Universe.
However, stealing the spotlight was little AbRam, as captured in viral videos bowling to KKR player Rinku Singh. Fans marveled at AbRam’s growth, expressing nostalgia and admiration for the father-son duo’s adorable bonding moment.
“Time flies… AbRam bowling to Rinku Singh was never on my list,” one fan remarked, encapsulating the sentiment shared by many.
As anticipation builds for the KKR vs. DC clash, scheduled at Eden Gardens on Monday, both teams are gearing up for a crucial encounter. DC, currently in sixth place on the points table, aims to secure a top-four spot after a recent thrilling victory over Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, KKR, positioned second with five wins and three losses, seeks redemption following a challenging loss to Punjab Kings.
With the match poised to impact their standings, fans eagerly await the showdown, emphasizing the significance of each team’s performance as they vie for IPL glory.
