Yashasvi Jaiswal may not be in the best of form in IPL 2024. The young left-handed opener hasn't really set the tournament off to fire with his batting display. However, there was still a dream come true for batter when he finally got to meet Shah Rukh Khan. His wish was fulfilled after RR's win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday (April 16).
The youngster's excitement was palpable when he requested KKR players to help him meet Shah Rukh. Notably, the Bollywood superstar happens to be the co-owner of the KKR franchise and was present at the venue to cheer for his team. Even though KKR lost to RR in a last-ball thriller by 2 wickets, Shah Rukh met Jaiswal and gave him a hug. The video of Jaiswal fanboying over 'King Khan' was shared by the franchise on their official Instagram handle.
