It was at this time that the camera showed Khan talking with KKR CEO Venky Mysore. "The Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of KKR having an intense chat with KKR CEO Venky Mysore," said the Star Sports host on commentary, as the visuals showed Khan and Mysore.

Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the toss and decided to bat against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 12th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament. The high-voltage encounter is being played at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday.
After winning the toss, Rahane revealed that Varun Chakravarthy suffered an injury while taking a catch during the last game.
"We are going to bat first. It looks like a good wicket, a little bit on the drier side, but it's a very good wicket with slightly less grass covering as well. It's all about having that belief and confidence. It's about winning those small moments. We are confident. Two changes, forced. Varun Chakravarthy got injured while taking a catch in the last game, and Narine isn't playing. Powell and Saini are in," Rahane said.
Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer confirmed that they were fielding the same XI.
"Not at all. I was supposed to bowl as well, so I'm kind of happy with the decision he took. Our (Shreyas and Ponting) chemistry blossomed during our Delhi Capitals days. He gives freedom to all the youngsters, and he is an inspiration himself. Same team for us," Iyer said.
