The 'Badshah' of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, known for his charming personality, never misses an opportunity to impress his fans with his gestures. This time, despite suffering a loss from Delhi Capitals at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata, the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) won many hearts with a special message for the former captain of his team and Delhi Capitals advisor Sourav Ganguly.
Here's what he tweeted:
Wonderful play by @RealShubmanGill & @Russell12A yet again. Losing is ok but today we kind of lacked heart, especially bowling, that’s sad. Only positive out of this game was that our Dada @SGanguly99 was at Eden on the winning side. Congrats @DelhiCapitals

Unperturbed by the debate around conflict of interest, Ganguly, who was seen in full flow, conducting training sessions as Delhi Capitals advisor, sat in the dugout during the IPL match at the stadium.
The former India captain had earlier clarified his stand on "conflict of interest" in his dual role as IPL franchise Delhi Capitals advisor while serving as the president of Cricket Association of Bengal.
In yesterday's match, Shikhar Dhawan found form with a 63-ball 97 and powered Delhi Capitals to a seven-wicket win over KKR. Chasing 179, Colin Ingram launched one down the ground to finish the game in style and deny Dhawan what would have been his maiden hundred in this format.
Coach Ricky Ponting was the first to stand up and applaud the big six from Ingram, and advisor Sourav Ganguly had a smile on his face.
