While the rain gods played a spoilsport in Kolkata, it was Shah Rukh Khan who stole the limelight with his first appearance at Eden Gardens in the season. The co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders was seen spending some time with his daughter, Suhana Khan. However, SRK was seen being engaged in a heated argument with KKR managing director Venky Mysore. There is no doubt over the fact that the three-time champions have struggled so far in IPL 2026, with two losses in two games.
In the 22 balls that were bowled in the KKR’s third game against the Punjab Kings, they had the worst start possible. The Knight Riders lost two wickets with Cameron Green and Finn Allen making their way back to the pavilion.

Why do we treat IPL owners differently?🧐
There is a glaring double standard in how we view team owners. Sanjiv Goenka gets slaughtered for being “too involved” in team discussions, often facing personal attacks and ageist remarks.

Meanwhile, coming to the KKR vs PBKS clash, rain continued to play spoilsport at Eden Gardens. Only 3.4 overs were bowled before play had to be stopped due to rain. If rain continues and the match is abandoned, KKR would earn their first point of the season.
