Indian Premier League: Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, whose IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clinched the trophy this season, has shared a word of appreciation for his team and its players.
Taking to X, Shah Rukh shared a picture from the post-final celebrations with the caption: “To my boys…. my team…. my champs…'these blessed candles of the night'… My Stars of KKR. I cannot do a lot of things and you cannot do them all either…but together we manage most of them. That’s what @KKRiders stood for. Simply being together. Beyond the ability and guidance of @GautamGambhir… the earnestness of Chandu, the love of @abhisheknayar1 & leadership of @ShreyasIyer15 ... the dedication of @rtendo27 , Bharat Arun @1crowey & @Numb3z."
He added, “Gautam (the mentor of KKR) said if you can’t support a single vision as a team, you are leading to a division in the team. Each player understood that. Young and old. The Trophy is not a testament of having the best players in the team. But a proof of each player being the best for the team. Boys you are all made of Star stuff."
