IPL 2026 | Watch | Shah Rukh Khan's 'animated' chat with KKR CEO Venky Mysore goes viral

It is not clear as to what exactly transpired in the conversation between the Bollywood star and the franchise CEO.

Though Match 12 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Eden Gardens was abandoned, there was much happening outside the pitch which caught the attention of the Netizens.

KKR bagged their first point of the season after the match was abandoned due a combination of heavy rains and wet outfield made the play impossible to resume at Kolkata on Monday (April 6).

However a video surfacing on the social media showed KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan reportedly engaged in an animated conversation with franchise CEO Venky Mysore.

It is not clear as to exactly what transpired in the conversation between the Bollywood star, who was making his presence in IPL 2026 for the first time this season, and the club CEO.

But from the visuals it looked as though they were having a serious discussion especially with KKR who took first use of the wicket after calling the coin correctly, losing a couple of wickets quickly.

On a day when KKR were without both their frontline spinners, their decision to bat first seemed to have backfired.

PBKS' Aussie speedster Xavier Bartlett struck twice in three balls in a fiery second over, removing both their star overseas batters -- Finn Allen (6) and Cameron Green (4).

When the initial round of rain fell on Eden Gardens, KKR were struggling at 25 for two in 3.4 overs. The proceedings never restarted from the point despite the cut-off time getting moved up to 11.14pm.

With the match being washed out, both the teams shared a point each which helped KKR open their account after two earlier loses. The PBKS too received a point and moved atop the table with five points from three games. KKR have one point from three matches, ahead of Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings who are yet to open their account.

IPL 2026 has been full of drama and action off the field. Earlier Lucknow Super Giants were trolled for taking a swipe at their ex-captain K L Rahul, who now plies his trade with Delhi Capitals.

LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka has all been at the centre of a storm following his reported altercation with skipper Rishabh Pant which invited even the ire of former IPL chairman Lalit Modi.

KKR's next match is against LSG on April 9 at Kolkata.
