Ahmedabad: It’s an important day for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as they will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium to secure a place in the IPL 2024 final. And to boost the morale of the team in Qualifier 1, their co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be present in the stands and sing “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo” the loudest.
On Monday, hours after casting his vote in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha Elections 2024 in Mumbai, the ‘Jawan’ star headed to Ahmedabad with his son AbRam to attend KKR’s crucial match.
Several images have surfaced on SRK’s fan pages in which SRK and AbRam can be seen exiting the Ahmedabad airport.
Today’s IPL clash between KKR and SRH at Narendra Modi Stadium here promises to be a run-fest, with the match taking place between two trailblazers of the season, who made a habit of hitting fours and sixes, putting up huge totals for fun.
KKR ended the season at the top with nine wins, three losses and two no results, with a total of 20 points. In their last game, they beat Mumbai Indians by 18 runs on May 11.
Their final two league stage games against Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) were abandoned due to rain.
SRH is at the second spot, with eight wins, five losses and one no result, giving them 16 points. In their last league stage game on Sunday, they beat Punjab Kings by four wickets.
The winner of the clash gets a direct entry into the final while the losing team gets a second shot to enter the final by playing Qualifier 2.
