Highlight of SRK's post-match formalities was his interaction with Delhi Capitals' skipper Rishabh Pant.
Shah Rukh Khan had the best seat in the audience as his Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) thrashed Delhi Capitals by 106 runs on Wednesday at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh and Angkrish Raghuvanshi put on a brute display of hitting as the side put on 272 runs after opting to bat first. KKR bowlers then finished off the job to seal a comfortable win for the franchise.
The 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan' actor Shah Rukh Khan was in attendance for the game, and he was seen enjoying the match along with his manager Pooja Dadlani.
After the game finished, Shah Rukh Khan entered the main playing area to interact with both KKR and DC players. The highlight of his post-match formalities was his interaction with Delhi Capitals' skipper Rishabh Pant.
Rishabh Pant immediately stood up to greet the Bollywood superstar, despite the latter urging him to remain seated. Despite that, Pant still stood up and the duo then hugged each other. The video of the whole exchange is now going viral on social media.
