The team defeated defending champions Deccan Chargers, and Shah Rukh went Twitter happy

Shah Rukh Khan's IPL team, the Kolkata Knight Riders, began the third edition of the tournament in style, defeating defending champions Deccan Chargers on Friday (March 12).

But although SRK's team triumphed in the end at the D Y Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, they didn't start out smoothly at all. The Knight Riders lost early wickets, including captain Saurav Ganguly who was out for a duck. That must have led to some real tense moments for Shah Rukh. But it all turned out well in the end for the superstar's team, and he posted on his Twitter account, "yippeeeeee.finally got to see my kids & the boys in kkr smiling.inshaallah the smiles will continue.still miles to go. but we will get there. SRK tweeted a little later, "dada said so sweetly...aapko smile karte hue dekhkar achha lagta hai. am so happy my team loves me so...and i do the same."

Shah Rukh also said that he was looking forward to the Mumbai Indians versus Rajasthan Royals match today (March 13). Another tweet from him read, "shane & sachin. wow...will watch the match and enjoy it...no stress when ur team is not playing... "

Meanwhile, the opening ceremony of the third edition of the IPL tournament was a star-studded affair with performances by celebs including Deepika Padukone, Akon Lionel Ritchie, and Ali Campbell of UB40.
