IPL 2024 [WATCH]: Shah Rukh Khan recreates his iconic pose after KKR’s triumphant victory over SRH in the Qualifier 1

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had a relatively easy path to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final as they effortlessly defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Qualifier 1, held on Tuesday at Ahmedabad. Finishing at the top of the points table during the league stage, KKR showcased their dominance by securing an eight-wicket victory over SRH.

This convincing win was largely facilitated by the outstanding performance of Mitchell Starc, who played a crucial role in restricting SRH to a modest total of 159 runs. Starc’s exceptional bowling spell of 4-0-34-3 set the stage for KKR’s triumph. During the chase, the two-time champions reached the target in just 13.4 overs. Skipper Shreyas Iyer‘s unbeaten knock of 58 runs off 24 balls and Venkatesh Iyer‘s stellar 51* off 28 deliveries ensured victory for the team.

Subsequently, the 58-year-old actor proceeded to interact with the players, exchanging greetings and embracing them in moments of camaraderie.
