Shah Rukh Khan Clashes With Ness Wadia Over IPL 2025 Auction Strategy

Shah Rukh Khan, the celebrated Bollywood actor and owner of the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), recently found himself in a tense exchange with Ness Wadia, co-owner of Punjab Kings. This incident occurred during a meeting at the BCCI Headquarters in Mumbai, where IPL team franchise owners gathered to discuss the upcoming IPL 2025 auction.

The meeting at the BCCI Headquarters saw SRK and other team owners discussing various aspects of the IPL. A significant point of contention arose between Shah Rukh Khan and Ness Wadia regarding the format of the IPL 2025 auction. Reports suggest that SRK advocated for a smaller auction to retain more players, while Wadia preferred fewer retentions.

According to Cricbuzz, this disagreement led to a heated argument between the two. Shah Rukh Khan's stance was supported by Kavya Maran, owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad. For those unfamiliar, Ness Wadia co-owns Punjab Kings with actress Preity Zinta, whom he once dated.
