Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was seen batting while his son AbRam was bowling yorkers to Rinku Singh during training ahead of their match against the Delhi Capitals. Even as Kolkata players were sweating it out ahead of their crucial contest against in-form Delhi, Shah Rukh kept the mood in the camp light.
Shah Rukh faced throwdowns from star batter Rinku. The Bollywood superstar proved he was no mug with the bat as he was trying to dance down the track and play some big shots.
Shah Rukh didn't miss a single ball, as seen in a video that has broken the internet. His son AbRam was also seen bowling to Rinku. Watch the video here:

AbRam was running in hard and enjoying a rare chance to bowl to Kolkata's in-form finisher Rinku, who is one of the frontrunners for a spot in India's T20 World Cup team, which is set to be announced within the next two days.
Meanwhile, with four victories in their last five games, the Rishabh Pant-led team is assembling their pieces and beginning to look like a force to be reckoned with.
On the other hand, the Gautam Gambhir-mentored team has endured three losses in their last five games with their profligacy in bowling hurting them.
Signed up as Lungi Ngidi's replacement, Aussie Jake Fraser-McGurk has proved to be Delhi's X-factor with his ferocious batting display at the top.
A natural power-hitter with superb hand-eye coordination, Fraser-McGurk has taken the IPL by storm scoring 247 runs in five games at a stunning strike-rate of 237.5!
Fraser-McGurk's brutal treatment of the otherwise brilliant Jasprit Bumrah stands as a testimony of his skill-level. He slammed a slower delivery from the Mumbai Indians pacer for a six and it was the first time a batter lofted Bumrah for a first-ball six.
