The occasion was right too as Thursday was Tagore's birth anniversary.

"Tagore has poems for every mood. So, to boost up the KKR morale and their 65,000 supporters, I recited 'Where the mind is without fear' from the translated version of 'Geetanjali' (Tagore's translated poems)," Shah Rukh Khan said.

Earlier, the first thing Shah Rukh said after reaching the city airport was, "I am a blind fan of Tagore! Though I don't know Bengali, I have read almost all of his translated poems. He is the epitome of world literature. Whenever I feel stressed out, his songs and poems inspire me. "

SRK added that, " It is an honour that Kolkata Knight Riders will be playing a match on this pious occasion and that too at the birthplace of the world poet (Bengal). We are really blessed."

Keeping in mind the sentiments that Kolkatans attach to Tagore, Shah Rukh also cancelled a pre-match performance, which he had planned and instead, included a 10-minute show by popular artists to pay tribute to the bard of Bengal.
