Shubman Gill KKR Captain? KKR praises Shahrukh Khan's 'savage' comment on twitter

Shubman Gill KKR Captain? KKR praises Shahrukh Khan’s brilliant remark to a fan who wanted Gill to become the new captain of IPL team.

Shahrukh Khan is famous for his wit and funny statements, but this time he reached an extra mile while answering a query of a Kolkata Knight Riders’ fan on social media.

The Bollywood heartthrob started an #AskSrk hashtag during his leisure time today and obviously he instantly got thousands of questions flooding his feed.

As expected there was a question on his famous IPL franchise KKR too. The twitter user named, Vivek Subramanian asked him “When will @KKRiders  make @RealShubmanGill the captain? #AskSrk,”

Sharukh instantly replied to the question put forth by his follower, “As soon as KKR makes you the Head Coach my friend.” replied Shahrukh Khan.

It immediately left everyone in splits and admire the witty side of Sharukh Khan. Amidst all of this, his side KKR also did not stop to praise him for his comment. The Kolkata based franchise posted a picture of Brendon McCullum, who is the present captain of the side with a hashtag #SavageReplies.

Shubhman Gill is one of the rising faces of Indian cricket. In January 2018 he was bought by KKR for 1.8 crore INR, since then the 20-year-old has not looked back and risen to prominence with his explosive performances for the IPL side.

In the last edition of the IPL 2019, he won the emerging player award after his successful campaign with KKR. Furthermore, the Punjab based star is deemed to be the next big thing for team India.

Gill has a long way to go before he becomes the captain of KKR but surely, he is a born leader as in November 2019, he became the youngest cricketer to lead a side in Deodhar Trophy beating Virat Kohli who did same when the Indian skipper was 21-year-old.
