We all know that Shah Rukh Khan is the co-owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders along with actress Juhi Chawla, her husband Jay Mehta, and Red Chillies Entertainment. SRK is very dedicated to the sport and he revealed that once he was about to jump off the balcony in the stadium but his daughter Suhana held him back.
In an interview on the show Cricket Connected, recalling the moments when his team won the IPL, Shah Rukh Khan said, “Actually, the first match we won, I was going to jump from my balcony, but I think my kids, I think it was my daughter (Suhana) who caught me.” He added, “I could have flown that night, but I settled at home.”

Moreover, the ‘Chennai Express’ actor revealed that he never gave his team any ‘Chak De! India’ type of lessons. He was referring to his role of Kabir Khan who is a coach of an underdog Indian women’s hockey team in the movie, that goes on to win the World Cup under his guidance. His “70-minute” pep talk to his team in the film before the final match has become quite the iconic scene over the year. Talking about that, he said, “I have been a sportsman all my life at a very small level, so I have never really given them some ‘Chak De! India’ kind of lectures. I have never done that.”
Meanwhile, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, IPL 2020 has been postponed until further notice to maintain social distancing and prevent from spreading the virus any further.
