The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a match that is enjoyed by most of the country, whether you are a cricket fan or not. The match becomes even more exciting when two of the most popular teams, such as the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), compete against each other.
At the most recent match, Shah Rukh Khan‘s fans were ecstatic after his IPL team, KKR, won, while Virat Kohli‘s fans were disappointed by RCB’s loss. However, it was SRK’s post-match gesture to Virat that will melt your heart!
This was KKR’s first match of the season, and King Khan had flown down to Kolkata’s Eden Garden Stadium, especially for it. While the team won hearts with an outstanding performance, SRK left viewers awestruck when he was seen bonding with RCB captain Virat Kohli after the game. In a celebratory mood, SRK ran to hug Virat. He later attempted to teach the cricketer the famous hook step from Pathaan, and it is hands-down the cutest thing on the internet right now!

Fans can’t stop gushing over Shah Rukh Khan’s adorable gesture. One fan said, “KKR ne match jeeta or SRK ne dil. (KKR won the match and SRK won hearts).” Another person described the situation as “Kings in one frame.” NGL, it was definitely one of the most iconic moments we have seen in a while.
Shah Rukh Khan, who is Kolkata’s brand ambassador, co-owns the team with his close friend Juhi Chawla, who was also present during the game. Talking about the team’s win, she said, “I’m very happy with our team’s performance. I just hope and pray that all our matches end like this. Every seat at Eden Gardens was occupied. Give the team your best wishes, let’s go to the finals this year, let’s be champions.”
When both Shah Rukh Khan and Virat Kohli are on the pitch, it’s difficult to decide which team to support. I’m sure there are a lot of viewers who felt the same way. However, seeing SRK shower love on the captain of his rival team and Virat being such a sport is why the two are such big icons!
