Shah Rukh Khan began his note by addressing his team affectionately: "To my boys... my team... my champs... these blessed candles of the night... My Stars... of KKR." He emphasized the importance of working together, stating, "I cannot do a lot of things and you cannot do them all either... but together we manage most of them. That's what @KKRiders stood for. Simply being together."

He credited various individuals for their contributions, saying, "Beyond the ability and guidance of @GautamGambhir... the earnestness of Chandu, the love of @abhisheknayar1 & leadership of @ShreyasIyer15... the dedication of @rtendo27, Bharat Arun @1crowey & @Numb3z... this team is built on no hierarchy just pure respect for collaboration."

Shah Rukh Khan shared an important lesson he learned from Gautam Gambhir (GG): "GG said if you can't support a single vision as a team... you are leading to a division in the team. Each player understood that. Young and old." He explained that winning the trophy was not just about having the best players but about each player being the best for the team: "The Trophy is not a testament of having the best players in the team... but a proof of each player being the best for the team. Boys, you are all made of Star stuff!!"

Expressing his gratitude and love for his team, Shah Rukh wrote, "Love you all and don’t let the dancing stop! Also, so happy and thankful for each and every KKR fan and I hope all around the world youngsters learn that Tough times don’t last... Finally, Tough and Happy teams do!"

He ended his note on a hopeful and enthusiastic note, reminding everyone of their team motto, "Korbo... Lorbo... Jeetbo... Always." He also hinted at future plans, saying, "See you all at the stadia in 2025."

Shah Rukh Khan's message was not only a tribute to his team's hard work and unity but also a motivational piece for fans and young players around the world. His words encapsulated the spirit of sportsmanship, resilience, and the joy of working together as a cohesive unit.
