Kolkata Knight Riders secured a famous victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, with Shardul Thakur and Rinku Singh leading the charge. The depth of the victory was such was such that co-owner Shah Rukh Khan also joined the players in the celebrations. However, when Shah Rukh asked his SRH team to follow Rinku Singh to the ground from the dressing room, the Knight Riders batter gave a hilarious response that left everyone in splits.
After the conclusion of the match, Shah Rukh asked his team to follow Rinku while heading out of the dressing room for the post-match presentation. Understanding that he would need to speak to the media in English, Rinku backed out saying “Sab English wale hain (everyone would speak English)”.
