SRK praises RCB, KKR
Kolkata, April 12
Notwithstanding Kolkata
Knight Riders' loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the eight Indian
Premier League(IPL) at the Eden Gardens here on Saturday, Bollywood
superstar and KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan congratulated both teams for
their good performance.
"Well played RCB & well played KKR.
Congrats to the winning side....& we will meet again in Bangakore
next. Missed being at Eden. Lov u KKR," posted SRK on Twitter.
RCB
struggled through to a three-wicket win in their maiden IPL 2015
encounter against KKR courtesy Chris Gayle, who scored a blistering 96
from 56 deliveries.
SRK was unable to cheer the Knights at the
Eden Gardens on Saturday due to a work commitment but took to Twitter to
wish luck to the squad before the match started.
Sent in to bat,
KKR put up a formidable total on the scoreboard 177/6, with skipper
Gautam Gambhir top scoring with 58 ably supported by a 17-ball unbeaten
41 from West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell.
In reply, Gayle
hammered the KKR bowling all around the park and helped his side reach
the target with six balls to spare. He was ably supported by South
African De Villiers who scored 28 of 13 deliveries.
