Two-time former champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the final of IPL 2024 in Chennai on Sunday, and KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan recalled how the franchise turned its bad days into winning days with Gautam Gambhir as the team’s skipper to win the title in 2012 and 2014.
Talking about a comment from a cricket expert, the Bollywood super star mentioned how “it used to hurt” when critical analysis was made during the days when KKR didn’t win many games.
“Having the nicest set of team in the world and we kept on losing only again and again,” SRK said in an interview with Star Sports, a clip from which was shared by the sports broadcaster on social media.
“I still remember, which was the saddest moment, kisi ne mujhe aise bola ‘inka costume hi achha hai, inka game play to achhai hai hi nahi’. I remember some expert talking this. It used to hurt. To come back with GG (Gautam Gambhir) and do this was outstanding. It taught us how to lose but never be losers and never give up hope. Sports teaches you that.
