Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan's presence and heartwarming gesture towards his wife Gauri Khan stole the show.

The doting husband was captured on camera in a heartwarming moment, embracing Gauri Khan and planting a kiss on her head as KKR clinched the trophy. This sweet gesture quickly became viral on social media. Clad in a KKR jersey, he sported a mask.
