Shah Rukh Khan, also known as the 'King of Bollywood,' is not only a top movie star but also a big name in the cricket world. His love for cricket and sharp business mind have helped him to create one of the most famous T20 cricket brands — the Knight Riders Group. SRK's cricket journey began with the introduction of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008. KKR began as underdogs but went on to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) title three times in 2012, 2014, and 2024. Apart from SRK, Juhi Chawla, along with her husband Jay Mehta also own a stake (45%) in the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Shah Rukh Khan then took his Knight Riders brand global by singing teams in international premier leagues like - CPL (Caribbean Premier League), MLC (Major League Cricket) and ILT (International League T20) etc.

- Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) in Major League Cricket (MLC) in the USA, helping promote cricket in North America.
- Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the International League T20 (ILT20).
Before the 2025 CPL season, Shah Rukh Khan’s Trinbago Knight Riders made headlines by picking two Pakistani players in the draft on June 18.
