Bollywood superstar and cricket enthusiast Shah Rukh Khan took to social media to celebrate the Trinbago Knight Riders’ (TKR) fifth Caribbean Premier League (CPL) championship title, calling it a triumph of “grit and heart.” In a jubilant post, he wrote: “And CPL is ours… Need the Trini party. 5 Times champ!!! Love u all.” The actor, who co-owns the franchise through his Knight Riders Group, congratulated the team for a spectacular performance and promised to join them in person “next time round.”
The win came after a nail-biting three-wicket victory over Guyana Amazon Warriors on September 21, 2025, with Akeal Hosein sealing the deal with an unbeaten 16 off just seven balls. The final match was a showcase of nerve, strategy, and resilience—traits that have come to define the TKR brand under Khan’s part-ownership since 2015.
What makes this victory even more special is that Kieron Pollard, team captain and T20 icon, clinched his 18th T20 title, overtaking head coach Dwayne Bravo, who holds 17. Pollard’s all-round performance—325 runs and 19 wickets—not only powered the team but also added an intriguing player-coach rivalry angle that fans and analysts alike are loving. With this win, TKR has solidified its standing as the most successful franchise in CPL history.
Back in India, Shah Rukh Khan is riding high on multiple fronts. His next film, King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, is already one of 2026’s most anticipated releases. Not only does it mark Suhana Khan’s theatrical debut alongside her father, but it also features a powerhouse ensemble including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, and more.
And while he couldn’t be in the Caribbean to join the TKR celebrations, the superstar is equally thrilled about his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood, which recently dropped on Netflix to glowing reviews. The gritty series is being hailed as a sharp, stylish commentary on the darker side of the film industry, further cementing the Khan family's grip on every corner of the entertainment world.
