IPL 2024: Shah Rukh Khan jumped in joy and celebrated his team, KKR’s win with his family. His wife Gauri Khan and kids- Aryan, Suhana and AbRam- were seen getting emotional.
After a decade, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan watched with immense pride as his team, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), lifted the IPL 2024 cup, marking their third title win. The final match, held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, saw KKR dominate the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 8 wickets. Shah Rukh Khan, affectionately known as SRK, could not contain his excitement as he joined the team’s celebrations.
In a video shared by JioCinema, SRK can be seen enthusiastically participating in the post-match celebrations. Uncapped pacer Harshit Rana, who played a key role in KKR’s bowling attack, was seen not only hugging the ‘Jawan’ actor but also lifting him up in pure exhilaration. This moment, which has since gone viral, showcased the close bond between the team owner and his players.
Photos shared by the official IPL page captured a heartwarming moment where Shah Rukh Khan planted a kiss on Gautam Gambhir’s forehead. Gambhir, who has been a mentor to the team and a crucial figure in KKR’s strategy, was visibly touched by this affectionate gesture.
As the final winning shot was made, bringing the IPL 2024 championship to KKR, Shah Rukh Khan was seen turning towards his family. In emotional scenes that have taken the internet by storm, SRK hugged his wife, Gauri Khan, and kissed her on the forehead. His daughter, Suhana Khan, was also visibly moved, mouthing “I am so happy” as she hugged her father. His younger son, AbRam Khan, soon joined the embrace. Not too long after, Aryan Khan also joined the group, and the family shared a warm group hug, celebrating their collective joy.

These celebrations came just days after Shah Rukh Khan was hospitalized due to a heat stroke. Khan fell ill during a scorching heatwave in Ahmedabad but was fortunately discharged after a few hours. Although he remained silent on the matter, his manager Pooja Dadlani updated his fans and well-wishers via Instagram, thanking them for their prayers and good wishes.
KKR’s climb to victory was a culmination of a series of impressive performances. The final match saw SRH captain Pat Cummins win the toss and opt to bat first. However, KKR’s bowlers put on a stellar show, restricting SRH to a modest 113 runs. KKR chased down the target comfortably in just 10.3 overs with eight wickets in hand, a testament to their dominant batting lineup.
The victory marked a significant moment for Shah Rukh Khan and his team. The KKR’s performance mirrored the excitement and passion of their team owner, making the win all the more special.
With this win, Kolkata Knight Riders celebrated their third IPL title, a fitting end to a season of hard work and determination. The jubilant scenes of Shah Rukh Khan and his family emotionally embracing each other underscore the impact and significance of this monumental victory. As KKR and their fans celebrate, the memories of this night are sure to resonate for years to come.
