Shahrukh Khan, a tall, hard-hitting batter from Tamil Nadu, is known for his explosive finishing and occasional off-spin. A veteran of the domestic circuit with over 100 T20 appearances, he has built a reputation as a dependable lower-order enforcer. He first entered the TATA IPL with Punjab Kings in 2021 for INR 5.25 Crore. While that season was modest, he quickly regained attention later that year with a memorable finish in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final, where he sealed the title for Tamil Nadu with a last-ball six while chasing 16 off the final over. He continued with PBKS in 2022 and 2023 showcasing flashes of his power-hitting. Shahrukh moved to Gujarat Titans in 2024 and was retained for 2025, a decision that paid off. He enjoyed his most productive IPL season in 2025, scoring 179 runs at an average of 29.83 and a strike rate of 179, reinforcing his value as a finisher.
