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
Shah Rukh Khan has suggested organizing a three-match series between Peshawar Zalmi and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at a neutral venue.

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?
@KKRiders thanks for clarifying it.

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