At the IPL 2024 it was the day of another last-over drama. At the Eden Gardens, Kolkata Knight Riders looked like pocketing the match against Rajasthan Royals but Jos Buttler had some other idea. The RR star batter scored unbeaten 107 as RR chased down a target of 224 - the highest ever in IPL history - on the last ball of the 20th over. With the win, RR consolidated their top spot with 12 points from seven matches while KKR are second with eight points from six matches.
The match also saw KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan many different emotions. When Sunil Narine scored century, SRK’s joys knew no bounds. But then, as the last-over drama ensued with RR needing nine off six balls, a tense image of Shah Rukh was displayed on the screen.
The internet reacted to the photo. As one of the user wrote, ‘Not a great day for KKR and Shahrukh Khan at the Eden Gardens.’ Another user wrote, ‘From Clapping to crying...Time changed to fast for Shahrukh Khan.’
Jos Buttler swung his bat merrily on way to a 60-ball 107 and single-handedly lifted his team Rajasthan Royals to a sensational two-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders, pulling off the IPL’s biggest run chase on Tuesday.
