Shahrukh Khan, the batter for Punjab Kings (PBKS), appears to believe in the old adage “fortune favors the bold.”
However, With four runs needed off as many balls, the 26-year-old attempted a daring aerial shot and was almost caught at deep midwicket. However, the ball popped out of the palm of Rahul Tripathi of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a six. PBKS won their sixth game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Shahrukh Khan, who is playing in his debut IPL match in the UAE, believes that because he was brave enough to take the shot, it cleared as well.
“It was really important that when I walked in, there was a set batsman in KL Rahul there. I went in so that I could take it on from the first ball itself. I thought I hit the last ball really well, and I thought it would go deep into the stands, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. But I think I was brave enough to take the chance, and probably that’s why it cleared as well.” Shahrukh Khan said
PBKS stumbled in the chase of 166 after a good 70-run opening stand between KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. KL Rahul and Shahrukh Khan put up a 17-ball 28-run partnership to get them back in the game.
