There is no doubt that Shah Rukh Khan is the biggest cheerleader of his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders. On Saturday, the star, co-owner of the team, visited the Eden Gardens cricket stadium in Kolkata, West Bengal, where his team competed against Sunrisers Hyderabad. After Kolkata secured a crushing victory, the happiness on King Khan’s face was clearly visible. Many fan pages shared his photos and videos, which are now circulating on the Internet. In one particular image, SRK can be seen dressed in a casual outfit, flashing a million-dollar smile, and waving at his fans. A fan page posted the photo with the caption: “King Khan’s cheerful expression shines bright after victory.”
