Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) co-owner Shah Rukh Khan gave an emotional speech to the IPL 2024 title-winning squad in the dressing room. KKR won their third IPL title after defeating SRH in the final in Chennai on Sunday.

The celebrations were wild by the KKR players as this was their first IPL title win after 10 years. Shah Rukh Khan was presented with a memento by the team's CEO Venky Mysore during the dressing room award ceremony.

Mysore highlighted Shah Rukh's presence as a 'game-changing moment' for the team. The Bollywood superstar then expressed his gratitude to the team and extended special thanks to team mentor Gautam Gambhir.

"I just have one request, which is my special thanks to Gautam Gambhir. I have not thanked him specially for. Two things we had discussed when we started maybe we can make him dance. Sunil has already crossed that boundary. I saw him dance. So we have to make GG [Gautam Gambhir] dance tonight," Shah Rukh said, eliciting a loud cheer and a smile from Gambhir.

Shah Rukh continued, "Thank you, everybody. You guys are lovely. God bless you. Just stay healthy. And, wherever we go ahead from here onwards, I wish you the best. And, I know, I speak on behalf of Jay, Juhi, Jahnavi, Suhana, Pooja, all of us, who love you so much that you make us very emotional. And, we wish we had this team for the rest of our lives. And you kept on listening to my speeches and playing like this."
