When Rahul Tripathi, KKR’s hero of the match, walked up to collect his Man of the Match award after playing a scintillating knock of 81, Shah Rukh shouted: “Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga,” even as Harsha Bhogle and Tripathi himself burst into laughter.
For those unaware of the context, ‘Rahul’ is one of the most-used on-screen names portrayed by Shah Rukh in his film career. The dialogue he shouted at the post-match presentation for Tripathi was first used in his movie 1997 blockbuster ‘Dil Toh Pagal Hai.’
The success shot KKR to the third spot in the table with three successes from five matches, while CSK stayed at five with four focuses from six games.
