Shah Rukh Khan, regarded as a stalwart of Indian cinema, continues to captivate hearts not just on the big screen, but also in cricket, as the proud owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League.
In a recent viral video from the KKR dressing room, SRK gave a rousing, motivating speech to the cricketers, reminiscent of his classic monologue in ‘Chak De! India.’

A fan page released a video of SRK’s enthusiastic talk to the KKR squad before their match against the Lucknow Super Giants. SRK encouraged camaraderie and mentorship among the players, urging veteran members to share their knowledge and experiences with the younger players, building a spirit of togetherness and growth within the squad.
Netizens praised SRK’s sincere connection with the players, applauding his hands-on style and genuine care for the team’s welfare.
Many people noticed comparisons between SRK’s speech and his legendary monologue as ‘Kabir Khan’ in ‘Chak De! India’, in which he inspires the Indian women’s hockey team before a crucial match.
The popular video revealed not only SRK’s leadership and commitment to KKR, but also his humility and dedication off the pitch. Earlier, another video surfaced showing SRK quietly collecting KKR flags at Eden Gardens, symbolising his unwavering support for the team without seeking attention.
As SRK continues to inspire both on and off the cricket pitch, his gestures strike a chord with fans, cementing his place as an icon of Indian cinema and sportsmanship.
