SRK has always been backing his players and often spotted with his children during matches at many IPL venues.

In Monday’s match, England batter Jos Buttler scored 103 runs. It was his second century of the season, while leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal grabbed the spotlight after his five-wicket haul which also included a hat-trick.

The outstanding moment was when bowler Ravichandran Ashwin took the prized scalp of dangerous Andre Russell for a golden duck. All this made the Royals achieve a thrilling seven-run victory against the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Currently, KKR are 6th on the table with 3 wins from 7 matches played so far. They will next be seen locking horns against Gujarat Titans on 23 April.
