Looking back at KKR’s performance during the last ten seasons the Bollywood actress said, "We have seen four years of struggle and it was heartbreaking to see not coming to the top and struggling. But fortunes changed we became proud champions twice.” Juhi will be hoping that the Kinght Riders finish well in Indian Premier League clash against Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens tomorrow. “We are now looking forward to win tomorrow and finish in top two. I will be praying tomorrow as well. I strongly hope that we win the tournament this year," the star owner said today. The veteran actress who has acted alongside Shah Rukh Khan in several films confirmed that the Bollywood Badshah will be at the Eden Gardens with his family. "Shah Rukh, Gauri Khan and their family are coming. it's an important and last match here, we want our team to shine here. The Eden Gardens is the largest stadium in India and we have a proud team KKR here." Looking back, Juhi said their struggling phase in the first four years was important to turn it around. "We had seen the lows, so we could enjoyed the high. Failure was necessary to enjoy the success." "We had an interesting journey that started with a bang in Bengaluru. KKR went ballistic and we thought we arrived," she said referring to Brendon McCullum's 158 in their inaugural match. Juhi also planted a sapling with KKR team members inside the Eden Gardens premises and urged the need to shun plastic. "Last year I realised something about plastic. Islands of floating plastic in oceans. That's the kind of pollution we have created. With this the next generation will face something more serious than atom bomb." "We want to eliminate plastic. We have made a beginning and will have bigger plans next year. We would like to eliminate that totally to have a more eco-friendly environment." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khPCq3VQ3mQ&feature=youtu.be
