[WATCH] IPL 2025: Shah Rukh Khan lauds KKR's top stars with heartfelt message after stellar performance vs SRH

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) secured a one-sided victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 3 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. After the magical win, franchise co-owner Shah Rukh Khan sent a special message to all the top performers of the team through KKR CEO Venky Mysore.

The franchise shared a video on social media where Mysore read out the message in Shah Rukh's accent. The players enjoyed themselves as Angkrish Raghuvanshi gestured a heart with his hands and showed it to the camera while Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer had a huge smile on their faces throughout.

"Wow! I guess the secret to a gameplay like this is that I should come on the screen during team meetings before the match. Played like the champions we are. Awesome, everyone. Well done, Angkrish, you were sublime. Ajinkya was fantastic – captain’s innings and great strategy!," Shah Rukh's message read.

"And Venkatesh, don’t think too ahead, so just the time on the crease. That's where you belong. Fantastic. And Rinku, so happy to see you smile. You’re a champ!," it added.
