His team Kolkata Knight Riders may have been knocked out of the IPL after a defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second Qualifier last night but that doesn’t mean Shah Rukh Khan will be upset. The Superstar is "still smiling" even after (KKR) failed to make it to final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 and says the team is "awesome".
Shah Rukh also had plans of watching the final live in Mumbai but KKR’s defeat has forced him cancel his tickets at the last moment.
"Well was not to be. Will have to cancel my flight but KKR well done. You did yourself proud. All of you so well done. Love you and yes I am smiling. Thanks for the entertainment an so many moments of glory. We are an awesome team!" Shah Rukh tweeted alongside a photograph of himself.
KKR lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) Qualifier 2 at the Eden Gardens here on Friday.
Rashid Khan from SRH blunted chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav's two crucial wickets in one over with an unbeaten 10-ball 34 cameo to propel SRH to 174/7 in 20 overs against KKR.
Rashid's virtuoso display with bat (10-ball 34) and ball (3/19) helped SRH beat KKR by 13 runs to book their place in the final of the IPL where they will meet Chennai Super Kings on Sunday in Mumbai.
