Shah Rukh Khan, one of the finest actors in Bollywood, owns cricket franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and he has never shied away to show his love for the sport.  

The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan World Cup 2019 clash will be held at the Old Trafford in Manchester and as per weather reports, might be hit by scattered showers throughout the day. On Saturday, there was slight relief as rain had stopped pouring in the afternoon which has resulted into dampened areas on the field.
