Kolkata: Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan waved and showered flying kisses to fans off the pitch as his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) battled it out against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at the Eden Gardens here on Wednesday. Nearly halfway through KKR’s innings, Khan — clad in a white T-shirt and sporting a beard — was first flashed on the giant screen having a balloon fight with son AbRam. He later realised the loud Eden cheers were for him and the “Dilwale” star acknowledged the love by standing up and waving. The superstar then took AbRam on his lap and playfully hit him on the head with the KKR balloon. Live Cricket Scorecard: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Kings XI Punjab, IPL 2016 Match 32 at Eden Gardens
