SRK's Knight Riders back in the game

Looks like Shah Rukh Khan's many Twitter posts underlining his disappointment with his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders' performance finally had some effect on the players. At the match played in Kolkata today, SRK's team scored a comfortable win over Shilpa Shetty's Rajasthan Royals. The Knight Riders restricted the Royals to just 132 runs, and then reached 133 with a spectacular innings from captain Sourav Ganguly.

This result means that Shilpa's Royals are out of the semi-finals race now. Meanwhile, the Kolkata Knight Riders still have an outside chance to make it to the final four of IPL 2010.

And Shah Rukh was there to enjoy the victory today (and the hope for a future semi-final spot) with wife Gauri, kids Aryan and Suhana, and friends Arjun and Mehr Rampal, Sussanne Roshan, Bhavna Pandey (Chunky Pandey's wife), Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, and Neelam. SRK looked absolutely thrilled after the win, and had the crowds at the stadium roaring when he blew them a kiss during the post-match presentation ceremony.

And what of Shilpa? Well, she took the defeat in the right spirit. She tweeted after the match, "Okay RR is officially out now!:( anyway time to restructure and regroup and need to come back with a bigger bang next year! Well done KKR:)"

She continued later, "I undrstand the disappoinmnt.can only say sorry nd thanku 4 the supp.Big hug to u all.somethings r not meant to be..RR will com bak stronger."

And what will SRK and his KKR team be doing now? Celebrating of course. Arjun Rampal wrote on his Twitter page, "Made it, amazing game, wish we had done it in 13 overs. Anyway we won and are still alive. Congrats to all of u as well. Full power party on."
