KKR vs RR, IPL 2024: I always kept believing, says Buttler after heroic hundred
He said, "Keep believing, that was the real key today. I was struggling a bit for rhythm. At times you feel frustrated or you are questioning yourself. I tell myself it's okay, keep going, you'll get your rhythm back and try to stay calm." There's been plenty of times throughout the IPL, you've seen crazy things happen.

Eventually, KKR lost to RR. It wasn't expected at all.
Shah Rukh Khan was in Eden Gardens to support his team and despite the loss, he hugged all the members.
He also hugged Joss Butler.
SRK gave a motivational speech to his teammates.
In a video shared by KKR's official handle, Shah Rukh stood in the dressing room and told players, "There are days in our lives, in sports especially when we don't deserve to lose. And there are days also when we don't deserve to win. But days are like that, which turns things around. I think today we didn't deserve to lose. All of us played extremely well. We have to be very, very proud of ourselves. Please don't feel sad or down. Feel as happy as we feel whenever we come to the changing room and we are on a high so maintain the high."

So please continue so. All the best. Honestly, it was a very proud day, the way we all played. I think all of us, I won't even take individual names, that's been taken. GG (Gautam Gambhir), don't feel down. We would all be bouncing back. It's God's plan for today,"
