IPL 2020: Naam toh suna tha….kaam usse bhi kamaal hai: Shah Rukh Khan lauds Rahul Tripathi’s heroics against CSK

XtraTime Web Desk: Kolkata Knight Rider’s co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Wednesday lauded Rahul Tripathi’s match winning 81(51) against Chennai Super Kings. Riding on the performance of Tripathi, the Knight Riders registered a 10 run win over CSK at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The KKR owner was present at the stadium to witness his boys pulling off an incredible win against MS Dhoni’s men.

Rahul Tripathi grabbed the opportunity with both hands as he was asked to open the innings with Shubman Gill. The 29 year old batsman from Maharshtra started from where he left against Delhi Capitals (36 from 16 balls), taking the attack to the CSK bowlers from the word go. Tripathi’s 81 run innings was studded with three sixes and 8 fours. He was rightly adjudged the Man of the Match for his effort.

Shah Rukh, whose many on-screen characters were named Rahul, took to social media to tweak one of his popular dialogues and lauded Tripathi’s heroics against the Yellow Army with an interesting message.

He tweeted, “We were a few runs short, but the bowling made up for it at the end. Well played boys of @KKRiders And have to mention our @ImRTripathi‘Naam toh suna tha….kaam usse bhi kamaal hai’ Be healthy all of you and rest well. @Bazmccullum will see u soon.”

KKR also shared a photograph of Rahul posing with his Man of the Match trophy in the dressing room with a caption that read: “Jiss film mein Rahul ho, woh superhit hi hoti hai!”
