The IPL 2025 opening ceremony was packed with star power, but one moment that won fans’ hearts came when Shah Rukh Khan and Virat Kohli shared the stage. The Bollywood superstar, who is also the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, took a playful dig at Kohli with an impromptu chant of “Kohli, Kohli,” sending the crowd into a frenzy.
As chants echoed through the stadium, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru icon was visibly shy, flashing a wide smile and lowering his gaze in classic Virat fashion. SRK, ever the showman, wrapped an arm around Kohli and amped up the energy, hyping up the fans ahead of the big KKR vs RCB opener at Eden Gardens.
The light-hearted exchange not only highlighted the camaraderie between cricket and Bollywood but also set the perfect tone for what promises to be a thrilling IPL season. With fireworks, star-studded performances, and viral moments like these, IPL 2025 has already made a blockbuster start.
