Watch: Shah Rukh Khan caught smoking cigarette in the stands during KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 game

Shah Rukh Khan, the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), could land in hot water after being spotted smoking a cigarette in the stadium during the game between Kolkata and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Eden Gardens.

The Bollywood superstar is not new to landing in trouble due to his conduct in a stadium during an IPL match. In 2012, he was involved in a huge controversy due to a scuffle with the security staff and officials during a game between KKR and Mumbai Indians. Later, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) slapped a five-year ban on him. He was banned from entering MCA premises, including the Wankhede Stadium.

And Shah Rukh Khan could find himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons once again. He was in attendance as KKR opened their campaign in IPL 2024 on Saturday (March 23). During KKR’s innings, the cameras caught him smoking a cigarette.

Talking about the game, KKR posted a big total of 208 for 7 in the allotted 20 overs. Asked to bat first, the two-time IPL champions were reeling at 51 for 4 at one stage before Phil Salt and Ramandeep Singh steadied the ship. They took the score past the 100-run mark before being dismissed in quick succession.

KKR were reeling at 119 for 6 in the 14th over before Andre Russell came up with a whirlwind knock. He and Rinku Singh shared an 81-run stand for the seventh wicket before T Natarajan broke the stand in the final over when he dismissed the latter for 23.

Russell, on the other hand, remained unbeaten on 64. His knock came off just 25 balls and was studded with three fours and seven sixes. For SRH, T Natarajan picked up three wickets while Mayank Markande picked up two. At the time of writing this report, SRH were on 60 for no loss in the sixth over.
