SRK links Kolkata Knight Riders win vs RCB to this hit movie

Gautam Gambhir’s KKR chased down Royal Challengers Bangalore’s 158/6 with six wickets and 29 balls to spare to brighten their prospects of making the IPL 2017 playoffs.

West Indian Sunil Narine, known for his off-spin bowling, also equalled the fastest fifty record in the IPL, taking only 15 balls to reach his half-century.

Shah Rukh celebrated Kolkata Knight Riders’ thumping win in a special way. The Bollywood superstar linked Narine and Lynn to the characters of his movie Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa where Shah Rukh played Sunil and his co-star Deepak Tijori, Chris.

In a tweet, Shah Rukh posted a picture of himself and Tijori from his movie and below a picture of KKR openers Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine.

“After Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa in ‘94, Sunil n Chris come together to make 105... well played boys! Ami KKR...,” tweeted the Bollywood superstar.

Sunil Narine, of course, was the toast of the match. Used as a pinch-hitter, Narine came to the party with a stunning knock that left Virat Kohli’s team mesmerised.

Narine’s 17-ball 54 was complemented by 2/29 in his four overs to restrict RCB, batting first, to 158/6.

“Yes, I’m very surprised. Definitely wasn’t expecting something like this,” Narine, who was adjudged Man of the Match for his all-round show, said .
