IPL 2021 will resume in the UAE with a match in Dubai between the league’s two most successful sides. The last time these two sides met in India, MI chased down a mammoth target of 219 in a game that was decided off the last ball.
On Sunday, Jaffer took to his Twitter handle and shared a Bollywood still featuring Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan from the movie ‘Darr’. Uploading the image, Jaffer wrote:
While most IPL fans were able to figure out that one of the players would be Rahul Chahar (Shah Rukh’s screen name in the movie Darr), they were confused between Kieron Pollard and Piyush Chawla with regards to Jaffer’s second pick. Juhi’s screen name in the movie is ‘Kiran’ while Chawla is her surname. Here are some Twitter reactions to Jaffer’s tweet.
Both Pollard and Chawla are part of the MI franchise in IPL 2021. Interestingly, Shah Rukh and Juhi also have a strong IPL connection as they are co-owners of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) franchise.
