IPL 2024: Watch Shah Rukh Khan's Motivating Speech For Kolkata Knight Riders Player; Gautam Gambhir Smiles

Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Rajasthan Royals match at the Eden Gardens was a spectacular and full-on entertainer. The way Kolkata batted and pinned a mountain of runs gave goosebumps to everyone and hopes to KKR fans that their team had a chance to defeat the table topper. But then there was the Buttler challenge that KKR could not cross.

English batter Jos Buttler stood tall and played a powerful knock for Rajasthan Royal as he struck a blitzkrieg hundred that turned the table around and clinched another victory along with two valuable points for RR.

KKR fans and players were left heartbroken after the team played so well and still faced a narrow defeat. To cheer the team and lift players' confidence, franchise owner and actor Shah Rukh Khan went to KKR's dressing room after the match. SRK talked to the players and delivered an inspiring speech highlighting that winning and losing are part of the game, and the players need not lose their confidence despite performing well. The actor said the team 'deserved to win' but ended up being the second best, as luck did not favour them.

He also told players to continue playing well and doing what they have been so far in the Indian Premier League.

The video of Shah Rukh Khan's speech is doing round the internet, in which, the actor expressed proud on his players, despite the result which was not in the team's favor.

"There are days in our lives, sports especially, when we don't deserve to lose and it is also when we don't deserve to win. But days are like that, which turn things around. I think today we didn't deserve to lose, all of us played extremely well. We have to be very very proud of ourselves. Please don't feel sad or down. Feel as happy as we feel whenever we come to the changing room. We are on a high, maintain the high. The main thing is the energy in all of us. We have great energy on the field, we have lovely energy here, personally also everybody is bonding together," Shah Rukh Khan said in his speech.

SRK's speech video, showcasing the right spirit for the game, has garnered thousands of views and likes and social media users are comparing it with the film Chakde India's 70-minute motivational speech.

SRK also mentioned the hard work and efforts Gautam Gambhir is putting and the mentor was all in smiles.
