The night sky exploded with fireworks, signaling the grand finale of the opening ceremony.

Shah Rukh Khan, ever the showman, returned to the stage, his trademark wit igniting the crowd into a frenzy.

Then, in a moment that sent a tidal wave of cheers through Eden Gardens, SRK welcomed the 'OG of IPL,' Virat Kohli.

The stadium chanted his name.

"The bold generation is coming up very strongly, the old generation is still here trying to create more memories," Kohli remarked, before SRK introduced KKR's own rising star, Rinku Singh, to the roaring audience.
