On the 21st match of the 13th season of IPL, KKR batsman Rahul Tripathi, who besides playing a match-winning knock of 81 last night against Chennai Super Kings, had one of his dreams come true.

Karthik then put his hands around Tripathi’s shoulder and introduced him to Shah Rukh as his “Biggest fan ever”. Sharing the moment on their official twitter handle KKR captioned it “The moment when @ImRTripathi met the king khan.”

After KKR’s victory against CSK, king khan wrote a proper filmy tweet for Tripathi. SRK, whose many on-screen characters were named Rahul, took to social media to tweak one of his popular dialogues and lauded Tripathi.

“We were a few runs short, but the bowling made up for it at the end. Well played boys of @KKRiders And have to mention our @ImRTripathi ‘Naam toh suna tha….kaam usse bhi kamaal hai’ Be healthy all of you and rest well. @Bazmccullum will see u soon,” KKR’s co-owner tweeted.

After the match, a hilarious incident was witnessed while Tripathi was receiving his Man of the Match award, Shah Rukh Khan was heard shouting his iconic dialgoue from the movie ‘Dil Toh Pagal Hai’, “Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga!” king khan’s gesture made the KKR opener burst into laughter while he was in a conversation with Harsha Bhogle during the post-match award ceremony.
