The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have had a rough start to the IPL 2026 season, losing their first two matches. Things didn’t improve in their game against the Punjab Kings as they lost Finn Allen and Cameron Green early on after choosing to bat first. Critics like Kevin Pietersen, Anil Kumble, Saba Karim, and Ravichandran Ashwin questioned their decision to bat under overcast skies. The match was interrupted by rain with KKR at 25/2, and during the break, co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was seen having a serious discussion with CEO Venky Mysore. The game was eventually called off due to a wet outfield, earning KKR one point. This was SRK’s first appearance at an IPL 2026 match. He was accompanied by his manager, Pooja Dadlani, and daughter, Suhana Khan. The cameras captured the intense conversation between SRK and Mysore, with speculation about what they were discussing. Despite the challenges, KKR remains hopeful that Cameron Green will soon start bowling for the team after managing his workload. The franchise is looking to turn their season around after the disappointing start.
