Shah Rukh Khan holds intense chat with KKR CEO amid early struggles vs PBKS

KKR, having lost their first two matches, were off to a poor start against Punjab Kings, losing Finn Allen and Cameron Green early. As rain interrupted the game, cameras captured a tense exchange between Shah Rukh Khan and team CEO Venky Mysore. The owner appeared to be in deep discussion, making hand gestures, while the CEO listened intently. This was SRK's first match of the IPL 2026 season.

The Australian pacer Xavier Bartlett had been the tormentor-in-chief, dismissing KKR's star overseas recruits. Despite making changes to the playing XI, bringing in Rovman Powell and Navdeep Saini, the team needed to regain momentum when play resumed.
