Shah Rukh Khan may have not been able to make it to the Wankhede Stadium due to the five-year ban imposed by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) for his misbehaviour during last IPL, but the Kolkata Knight Riders’ co-owner did not miss out on an opportunity to cheer up his players at the team hotel ahead of their clash against Mumbai Indians yesterday.
