IPL 2026: SRK, daughter Suhana in Eden Garden stands; cheer for KKR
"We are going to bat first. Looks like a good wicket... - Ajinkya Rahane"

Kolkata, April 6

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan never misses a chance to show support for his IPL team, the Kolkata Knight Riders. The Bollywood 'Baadshah' arrived at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday to cheer them on against the Punjab Kings.

He was seen sitting in the stands with Suhana. Father-daughter's visuals from the stadium left fans excited.

The father-daughter duo arrived in the city to support the Kolkata Knight Riders and root for the team.

Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have won the toss and decided to bat against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 12th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament. The high-voltage encounter is being played at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday.

After winning the toss, Rahane revealed that Varun Chakaravarthy suffered an injury while taking a catch during the last game.

"We are going to bat first. Looks like a good wicket, a little bit of the drier side, but it's a very good wicket and slightly less covering of grass as well. It's all about having that belief and confidence. It's about winning those small moments. We are confident. Two changes, forced. Varun Chakaravarthy got injured taking the catch in the last game, and Narine isn't playing. Powell and Saini are in," Rahane said.

Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer confirmed that they are fielding with the same XI. "Not at all, I was supposed to bowl as well. So kind of happy with the decision he took. Our (Shreyas and Ponting) chemistry blossomed from our Delhi Capitals days. He gives freedom to all the youngsters, and he is an inspiration himself. Same team for us."

The real star power at Eden isn't just on the pitch! But honestly, the focus should be on the game. KKR batting first on a dry wicket is a bold move. Hope Powell and Saini justify their selection.

Injuries to Varun and no Narine? That's a huge blow for KKR's bowling attack. Saini will have to step up big time. Punjab must be licking their lips seeing that bowling lineup.

Visiting from the US and got to experience the IPL hype live! The energy is insane, and seeing a global icon like Shah Rukh Khan just sitting in the stands like any other fan is incredible. This is more than cricket.

Respectfully, while SRK's support is great, the media coverage sometimes feels disproportionate. An article about the match toss and team changes is dominated by celebrity sightings. Let's talk more about Rahane's captaincy and Iyer's strategy.

Father-daughter goals! ❤️ Suhana is growing up so fast. Good to see them bonding over cricket. Meanwhile, KKR needs a big total on the board to defend with a weakened bowling side. All the best to both teams!
