Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan-owned Trinbago Knight Riders’ (TKR) will look to defend their title during the upcoming Caribbean Premier League 2018 (CPL T20 2018). However, ahead of their title defence, the franchise has released, what looks like, a teaser of their anthem which features SRK himself. TKR’s captain and all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has lent his voice for the song. We expect the full video of the TKR anthem for CPL T20 2018 to be out soon.
Bravo, who has some hit numbers like ‘Champion’ in his kitty, by the looks of it might add another one to the list. The video was shared by TKR on its official Twitter handle. “#TheBiggestPartyInSport is back! And so are the Defending Champions. Keep an eye out for the entire #TKR anthem,” tweeted TKR.
