The 47-year-old former Australia star referring to a mock game at the Eden Gardens during the 2011 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 tournament, tweeted, "Look forward to seeing you soon my friend! Should be a great game, I can also remember you smashing me around Eden Gardens a few years ago."

"Yeah sure in my dreams. I would ever be able to smash u around!" Khan responded.

Shah Rukh had faced a few deliveries from Warne at that time.

Earlier, Shah Rukh posted a photograph of himself wearing a blue shirt with India written on it and a tri-colour armband wrapped around his hand ahead of the final.

"All spruced up 2 cheer for CT17 Finals. Also excited to present the MiniTrails to the world," Shah Rukh who is promoting his upcoming movie "Jab Harry Met Sejal" tweeted.

To his tweet, Australian Warne replied: "Good luck mate!

"Look forward to seeing you soon my friend ! Should be a great game, I can also remember you smashing me around Eden Gardens a few years ago."
