According to multiple reports, Gautam is the highest-paid coach in the KKR team, earning a whopping Rs 25 crore. Indeed, the man deserves it.

Another video surfaced online showing Shah Rukh Khan kissing mentor Gautam Gambhir on the forehead in a sweet gesture, appreciating the former India opener’s efforts in his maiden season as the Knight Riders’ trainer. Notably, Shreyas Iyer became the second KKR skipper to win the IPL trophy, succeeding Gambhir, as the Knight Riders ended their 10-year wait for the prized title.

Everyone was overjoyed with the victory, but this one video of Shah Rukh and Suhana hugging, and the daughter becoming upset seeing her father so pleased, is the finest thing to watch on the internet today.
