New Delhi: Pakistan cricket legend Shoaib Akhtar, today, shared a throwback moment by posting a picture of him in the Kolkata Knight Riders jersey celebrating the team's victory with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in an Indian Premier League encounter.

There was a time when Pakistani players, including Akhtar himself, Shoaib Malik, Salman Butt, etc. used to be a part of the IPL the troubled political affairs between the two countries have also kept their cricketers away from any cricketing event in India.

Shoaib, however, didn't mind sharing an old picture of him with Shah Rukh during his time with KKR.

"Fond memory with a super star, a friend, and the most humble man @iamsrk #ShahRukhKhan #SRK #T20," the Rawalpindi Express tweeted.
