The Kolkata Knight Riders is a cricket team representing the city of Kolkata in the Indian Premier League. It is owned by Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, actress Juhi Chawla and her spouse Jay Mehta. Bollywood’s king is passionate about his team and always supportive. SRK is known for his wit and for bringing the best out of any situation.
The Kolkata-based team had to wait 5 years to lift the winning trophy. However, Shah Rukh Khan backed his players when they failed with immense support. He took responsibility for the team’s performance in 2009, saying, “The blame should completely rest on my shoulders. I must overcome this year’s performance; how, when, and who would be too many details for an interview. I don’t like being a loser, and I’ll pragmatically and passionately turn this around. Inshallah.” In a tweet after losing a match against RCB during the 2019 IPL, SRK twitted, “I feel it’s only fair for KKR to do something in return for @Russell12A, like winning a few before the season ends.” Apparently, in 2019 IPL, it was a one-person show by Andre Russell. He is one owner who connects with the game, his team, and his fans.
His assurance and winning traits have got him loyal KKR fans.
