As fans eagerly follow each match of the 17th edition of the tournament, the stakes are high not only for the players but also for the team owners, who invest their passion and resources into their respective franchises.

In a recent interview during a Routes 2 Roots event in Mumbai, actress Juhi Chawla shed light on the intense emotions experienced by team owners during IPL matches.
She confessed that she and Shah Rukh Khan, despite their star status, are not the best companions to watch the matches with. The tension mounts as they fervently support their team, with Juhi revealing that Shah Rukh’s reactions can be particularly animated when the KKR is playing on the field. While the tournament is undoubtedly an electrifying spectacle for fans, for owners like Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi, it often translates into moments of heightened anxiety and excitement.
She stated that when their team does not perform well in the match, SRK starts venting out his anger on her. “I used to tell him that it’s the team not me,” Juhi stated.
Actress also stated that they are not the best people to watch with the most electrifying tournament of cricket.

This success is a testament to the dedication and commitment of the team’s owners, who continue to stand by their franchise through every triumph and challenge.
