In another frame, the ‘Pathaan’ star was enjoying popcorn while accompanied by his manager Pooja Dadlani and veteran singer Usha Uthup.

After the match SRK taught a few dance steps to RCB batter Virat Kohli and was seen in a video which went viral on social media. Shah Rukh Khan also visited the KKR dressing room after the match and was seen singing the team’s anthem led by batter Rinku Singh.

Meanwhile, in the match, all-rounder Shardul Thakur and Rinku’s match-winning stand of 103 runs for the sixth wicket helped KKR recover from a desperate position after being sent into bat.
