KKR owner Shahrukh Khan was highly disappointed after Kolkata's crushing defeat against Mumbai at the Wankhede. KKR lost the match by a margin of 102 runs after which SRK asked for an apology through a tweet after the franchise let the fans down badly.
Sports is about the spirit & wins/losses don’t reflect that. But tonite as the ‘Boss’ I need to apologise to the fans for the lack of spirit

However, a much needed an important win against Kings XI Punjab at Indore brought back the smile in Shahrukh Khan's face. Kolkata with this win are now at 12 points and inching closer to booking a playoffs berth.
KKR scored 245 against Punjab which is the highest total so far in this IPL season. They won the game by 31 runs pretty much to the happiness and excitement of all the KKR fans.
In his tweet, he has specifically mentioned Dinesh Karthik's name and referring to him has signalled his tweet. He has also praised Andre Russell and Sunil Narine for their contribution as well.
