NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan on Tuesday accidently bumped into commentators Suresh Raina, Akaash Chopra and Parthiv Patel during the on-field broadcast after the Qualifier 1 clash in Ahmedabad.
As KKR thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad in a lop-sided encounter by eight wickets to storm into the IPL 2024 final, a pleased Shah Rukh was taking a lap of honour to greet fans.
In the process, Shah Rukh unknowingly interrupted Raina, Chopra and Parthiv, walking across them on-air as they were giving their views on the game.
Shah Rukh’s mistake was then followed by a lovely gesture as he apologised and hugged Chopra.

With the win. two-time champions KKR entered their fourth IPL final.
Pacer Mitchell Starc struck thrice in the powerplay as KKR first bowled out Sunrisers for 159.
Rahul Tripathi top-scored for SRH with 55 off 35 balls while Heinrich Klaasen smashed 32 off 21 balls.
The 62-run stand between Tripathi and Klaasen was the lone positive in an otherwise underwhelming batting effort.
KKR then gunned down the target in 13.4 overs, thanks to Venkatesh Iyer (51 not out) and skipper Shreyas Iyer’s (58 not out) unbeaten knocks.
SRH will get one more opportunity to make the final when they face the winner of the Eliminator in Chennai on Friday.
