SRK's Support for Pujara's Career-Threatening Injury Revealed

SRK's Support for Pujara's Career-Threatening Injury Revealed

A young cricketer named Cheteshwar Pujara got a very bad knee injury in 2010, right before he was supposed to play in a big cricket tournament.

This injury was so serious it could have ended his career before it even really started.

His wife shared that the owner of his team, Shah Rukh Khan, was amazing and stepped in to help.

Shah Rukh Khan promised that Pujara would get the best doctors and made sure all the travel arrangements, like passports and visas, were handled.

He even arranged for Pujara to have surgery in South Africa and offered to fly in his family and any doctors they wanted.

Thanks to this support, Pujara recovered, played his first Test match later that year, and had a long and successful international cricket career.
