Earlier today, Express Tribune reported that Shah Rukh Khan invited Peshawar Zalmi to a three-match series against his own team, Kolkata Knight Riders.

It was even reported that Javed Afridi confirmed that such an invitation was extended to the PSL winners.

There was so much fanfare

People were really excited (as were we)…

But Kolkata Knight Riders just officially refuted any claims of such a match happening

KKR won't be playing any unauthorized games/leagues as some false reports are claiming.

No such communication happened from our end. — KolkataKnightRiders (@KKRiders) March 9, 2017

So, we guess there was no invitation, after all?

Wonder how Mr. Javed Afridi was able to confirm the existence of such an invitation…. awkward?
