"The boss man has sent a long message. He has instructed me to read it out. So, I am going to try with his accent (laughs)," said Mysore.
"No, I am just going to read it. So, he says, wow! I guess the secret to a game play like this is that I should come on the screen during team meetings before the match. Then he says, played like the champions we are."
Sent in to bat, Venkatesh Iyer (60 off 29) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (50 off 32) did the bulk of the scoring, while Ajinkya Rahane (38) and Rinku Singh (32) also made useful contributions as KKR posted 200 for six.
Shah Rukh lauded the batters.
"Awesome everyone. Well done Angkrish (Raghuvanshi). Congratulations. You are sublime. Ajinkya (Rhaane) was fantastic. Captain's innings and game strategy.
"And Venkatesh (Iyer), don't think too ahead. So, just the time on the crease. That's where you belong. And Rinku (Singh), so happy to see you smile. You are a champ," he said.
In reply, SRH folded for just 120 in 16.4 overs with Heinrich Klaasen top-scoring with a 21-ball 33. Vaibhav Arora (3/29) rocked the top-order, while Varun Chakaravarthy (3/22) mopped up the tail.
"Bowlers, so well done. Sunil (Narine) and Varun (Chakravarthy), it's magical to see you guys bowl together. And we are fortunate to have two of the bests in business.
"Harshit (Rana), nice catch bro and great bowling. And Vaibhav, you were a star today. Played to a plan and stuck to it. Congratulations Andre (Russell), Moeen (Ali) bhai, Ramandeep (Singh). It was such a united effort and Anukul (Roy), good catch son. He is not leaving out anything.
"One learning from this match mainly. Listen to what Quinny (Quinton de Kock) says. All the best. Wish I was there to party with you all. Will join you soon. (1:35) Love you all."
