XtraTime Web Desk: Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan is present in the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as his team Kolkata Knight Riders is facing Rajasthan Royals in their 3rd match of this year’s Indian Premier League.

Earlier, KKR CEO Venky Mysore had confirmed that Khan will be there in the stands for the team’s IPL match against the Steve Smith-led side. Before the match, the franchise did a Facebook Live session with Mysore in which he had said the actor will be present at the stadium.

“I think we can confirm that. You will see King Khan coming into the Dubai Stadium and I think that will serve as some additional motivation for the players. It is wonderful to have him, he has been itching to get out here and come and be part of the game,” Mysore had said during the Live session when asked if Khan will be there.

KKR finished their innings at 174 runs. Shubman Gill and Eoin Morgan were the star performers for the team. Shubman scored 47 while Eoin scored 34 runs. Jofra Archer bowled superbly as he conceded only 18 runs in his 4 overs and also took 2 crucial wickets of Gill and Dinesh Karthik in the process.
