Gurbaz's tweet became an instant hit as it received a massive response from fans on Twitter.
Shah Rukh Khan visited the dressing room and met players after KKR registered a thumping 81-run victory over Bangalore.
Rahmanullah played a key role in the team's victory as he blasted a 44-ball 57.
With his 57 runs, Gurbaz also became the first player from his country to score a fifty in the Indian Premier League.
