Post-Royals win, KKR boss SRK tweets like Robert Frost for skipper Karthik

Kolkata Knight Riders' Tuesday win over Rajasthan Royals was a breather for team-owner Shah Rukh Khan. The team had earlier lost two consecutive matches to Mumbai Indians leading Khan to apologise to fans for the "lack of spirit".

But his team's victory in the Eden Gardens match, that has now brought them just one win away from qualifying for Indian Premier League's playoffs, left the actor ecstatic.

He took to Twitter to share his happiness after the match, posting a picture of team captain Dinesh Karthik smiling:

And smiles to go...and keep from @DineshKarthik to me. Well done @imkuldeep18 with ball & interviews. @lynny50 who is getting sane! @prasidh43 @ShivamMavi23 & @SunilPNarine74 is Sunil! pic.twitter.com/UnCsvZbuqZ

Earlier, Khan had also shared his own picture, dedicating the post to DK, who he said had asked him to smile:

My Captain @DineshKarthik asked me to smile cos I was so disappointed at the match before. This pic is for him. Thx @Russell12A @prasidh43 @SunilPNarine74 & #KKRTeam. Onwards & up... pic.twitter.com/G83DqW8Iwm
