This Shahrukh Khan Is Turning Heads With His Performance in Tamil Nadu Premier League 2018, Watch Video of Him Taking a Superb Catch
The catch even impressed former Australia cricketer and commentator Dean Jones who shared the video on his Twitter account as well.
First things first, we are not talking about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan here. Shahrukh Khan is a 23-year-old cricketer from Chennai who is currently plying his trade in the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2018 (TNPL 2018). The youngster has won hearts with his all-round abilities, particularly with his fielding skills. In the ongoing TNPL T20 2018, Shahrukh, who represents Kovai Kings, pulled off a sensational catch near the boundary rope against Karaikudi Kaalai.
The fielder went a little off balance but still managed to hang on to the ball. Shahrukh jumped to perfection and pouched the ball one-handed. He then managed to balance himself and did not touch the boundary rope. The cricketer then followed it with a Ronaldo like celebration.

TNPL’s official Twitter handle shared the video of Shahrukh taking a superb catch. "Shahrukh Super Khan! Relive the unbelievable boundary line grab from yesterday's night! #NammaOoruNammaGethu #TNPL2018 #LKKvIKK,” read the post.
The catch even impressed former Australia cricketer and commentator Dean Jones who shared the video on his Twitter account as well.
Just like Shahrukh’s catch, the match proved to be a cracker of a contest as it ended in a tie and the winner was decided via the one-over eliminator, in which Kovai Kings prevailed. Winning the toss, Karaikudi Kaalai opted to bat first and scored 162 for seven in their allotted 20 overs, courtesy Maan K Bafna’s 22-ball 44. Shahrukh bowled three overs and gave 22 runs, but he failed to pick a wicket.
In response, Kovai Kings managed to score 162 for six in their 20 overs with captain Abhinav Mukund scoring 59. Shahrukh, who opened the innings, managed to score 32 off just 20 balls.
