Shah Rukh Khan was the happiest man on May 26, 2024, when his team, the Kolkata Knight Riders, emerged victorious after a hard-fought Indian Premier League (IPL). KKR players have time and again praised the Bollywood superstar for his encouragement and support of the team.

Cricketer Harshit Rana, who caught attention during IPL 2024 because of his flying kiss celebration, has revealed that SRK asked him not to worry when a fine was imposed on him during the tournament.

In a recent interview with Shubhankar Mishra, cricketer Harshit Rana talked about the fine imposed on him during this year’s IPL after his wicket celebration with a flying kiss. He revealed what KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan said to him. Harshit stated, “Jab main ban hua aur jab meko fine laga toh shah rukh sir ne mujhe bola tha, ‘Tu tension mat le mai de dunga’ (When I was banned and got the fine, Shah Rukh sir told me not to take tension; he will give it).”

During the conversation, Harshit couldn’t stop showering praise on King Khan, expressing that they couldn’t get a better team owner than him. He also said that regardless of the result of the match, SRK’s reaction remains the same.

Harshit also disclosed a wise thought that SRK has conveyed to the team. According to the Jawan actor, defeat and victory keep happening, but his team should never forget the spirit they have or the way they play cricket. Harshit called it a big thing that their team owner is with them in both wins and losses, due to which their confidence always increases.

In the caption, Shah Rukh wrote, “To my boys…. my team…. my champs….’these blessed candles of the night’ …. My Stars…of KKR.”

Praising the team, he expressed, “GG said if u can’t support a single vision as a team….u are leading to a division in the team. Each player understood that.

Love you all and don’t let the dancing stop!”
