The co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and one of the biggest names in the world, Shah Rukh Khan, was seen enjoying cricket alongside his son Abram during a KKR practice session in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Shah Rukh has been actively present in the grounds during this season as his side continue to push for their third league title, which would make them the side with the most IPL trophies after Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Led by Shreyas Iyer and mentored by Gautam Gambhir, KKR have five wins from eight matches and they sit on the second position in the IPL points table, only behind Rajasthan Royals who are on top with a whopping eight wins in nine matches.
Before the match against Delhi Capitals, the King Khan paid a visit to the team’s practice session to lift their morale. He was accompanied by his youngest son and the father-son duo enjoyed alongside KKR players.
SRK played a few deliveries with the bat while his son bowled to Rinku Singh with a traditional fast-bowling run up.
