Shah Rukh Khan Caught Smoking During KKR vs SRH IPL Match In Kolkata, Video Goes Viral

Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan found himself in the middle of a controversy as some social media posts suggested that he was smoking inside the Eden Gardens premises during the IPL 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday. There were pictures and videos that suggested that SRK was smoking inside the VIP box in the stadium but NDTV was not able to ascertain the authenticity of the claim. The video went viral on social media and many users criticised him for his conduct during the match. A similar incident happened during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final when Imad Wasim was pictured smoking a cigarette inside the dressing room.

An explosive half-century by Andre Russell helped Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) edge past Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 4 runs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Saturday. Heinrich Klaasen's 29-ball 63 went in vain as he took SRH close to victory but could not take them beyond the finish line.

Chasing a massive 209-run target Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a flying start with openers Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma taking the team's total beyond the 50-run mark in just 4.3 overs.

Just when it seemed that Hyderabad openers would run away with the match Harshit Rana got the prized scalp of Agarwal dismissing him for 32 from 21 balls as SRH lost their first wicket for 60.

At the end of powerplay SRH had put on 65/1 in six overs. Andre Russell who had wreaked havoc with the bat also shined with the ball dismissing Abhishek Sharma for 32 from 19 balls reducing the 2016 champions to 71/2 in 7.2 overs.
