Punjab Kings batsman Shahrukh Khan has often been linked by the fans and his teammates with popular Bollywood actor SRK, something which has been evident right from the day he was purchased by the Indian Premier League franchise. Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta had celebrated the moment with smile and saying “We got Shahrukh!” towards the Kolkata Knight Riders table.
