Ahead of their final home game of this season, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) took to social media platform X to show their heartfelt gratitude for co-owner Shah Rukh Khan for his support and love by taking an indirect dig at Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanji Goenka for his recent outburst at the skipper KL Rahul.

Goenka has been criticized by many for fuming at Rahul in front of the cameras after the LSG suffered a 10-wicket defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last IPL 2024 game in Hyderabad.

He brings unmatched energy and fervor to every KKR match. From cheering enthusiastically in the stands to engaging with players and fans, SRK's unwavering dedication and support played a major role in their performance this season. His presence at the stands has not only boosted KKR’s morale but also created an electric atmosphere in the stadium.

Notably, after facing Mumbai at Eden Gardens, KKR will travel to Ahmedabad to play against the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on May 13. The table-topper Kolkata will play its final league game against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on May 19 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

They will now look to beat MI on Saturday to officially make it to the Top 4 of this season. KKR aims for their fourth consecutive victory and ninth overall in the ongoing IPL 2024, aiming to secure a spot in the playoffs with 18 points.

If KKR fails to outshine MI at Eden Gardens, then their remaining away league games could be nerve-wracking for the team. So, aiming for a top-two finish, KKR will give their best to earn that ‘Q’ in their final home game against MI.
